Getting started with Eclipse + EGit is confusing

I am using Eclipse with SVN and CVS.

Now I want to use GIT through EGIT.

The goal is to have a local repository, and not in the eclipse workspace, which includes my changes. That way, I can make changes, transfer them and have a repository with the changes that I can back up (at least the way this works in SVN).

Following the user guide, I found that it creates a repository in my Eclipse project in the workspace, which is recommended for use. What am I missing?

Steps:

  • Create a Java project in Eclipse (Test)
  • In the project, right-click-> Team-> Share Project → Git
  • ... Next - shows "Configuring the GIT Repository Panel" ... The only repository that he will allow me to create is inside the project.

You can create several projects under one repo in EGit, see http://wiki.eclipse.org/EGit/User_Guide#Creating_a_Git_Repository_for_multiple_Projects In this case, EGit will do this automatically.

You can also use the Git repository view to create an empty Git repository outside the workspace. See http://wiki.eclipse.org/EGit/User_Guide#Creating_a_Repository . After that, you can create new java projects and specify the external Git repo directory as your location.

  • you can create a java project outside the workspace
    (see the " create project form existing source " .project : .project and .classpath will be created in the parent directory of the directory that you select as containing sources).
  • Egit will create .git where .project and .classpath are created

you will have a repo outside of the Eclipse workspace.
