So i am developing Java applications in Eclipse. Until now i did this on my own, but recently one friend of mine had an awesome idea for an application and suggested we both work at it so we need to share the project files. I’ve searched the web and found something about using git trough the EGit plugin. The problem is that i don’t really understand how this really works.
Are there any other ways to make this happen? (as i’m not ready to upgrade my git for private repositories since i don’t understand how this stuff work)
I understand that you want to use Git and using GitHub as the platform is arguably the best way to collaborate then. The easiest way to start is learning Git from the command line. Once you have an idea how that works it is usually very easy to figure out how the plugin (in your case EGit) works.
Check out the Git reference and GitHubs awesome interactive tutorial for learning Git.
