Eclipse git checkout (aka, revert)

Is it possible to do the equivalent of git checkout from within Eclipse using the EGit plugin? I have a file that's been modified.

Current state of Git support in Eclipse

What's the current state of Git support in Eclipse? The EGit downloads page looks empty. I'd like to give Git a try for a new project, but I need to know how well it works with Eclipse right now.

How do you do merges using Git, Eclipse and Egit

I, like many others, love Eclipse as my ide of choice, and because of the way I work (moving about, different places, different projects) want to use Git for CVS. There is a plugin for Git in Eclipse, Egit, which is now an official Eclipse project, and currently at version 0.7.1. As I've just started using it I'm interested in how othe...

Does m2eclipse need EGit for git support

Does m2eclipse use EGit for git support or does it just use the native git client installed on a machine? I have both installed (plus the m2eclipse SCM integration plugin) and I was wondering if I still need EGit if I use m2eclipse's git support. ...

Controlling eGit's treatment of symbolic links

I am setting up a project that will be shared among several programmers at my organization. We are using git--to which I am a newcomer. The project directory includes symbolic links to documentation directories that should not be under version control.

Git/Mercurial locally ontop of local cvs checkout

I have read : "Best practices for using git with CVS" "How to export revision history from mercurial or git to cvs?" , and neither suit my needs. At work we use a remote CVS repo. Access to this repo is handled via eclipse CVS tools, and in-house eclipse plugins that are built ontop of team tools for eclipse. This means we can't mov...

EGit + Beanstalk - Auth Fail

I have Eclipse 3.5 and EGit 0.9.3 installed. Gitbash can authenticate fine to Beanstalk, but for some reason Eclipse gives me Auth Failed when I try to import/clone a repo into Eclipse. Also, I don't seem to have git+ssh as a protocol option - why is that? I have copied my files from .ssh to ssh as some other posts have indicated but it...

Egit very slow at handling big projects

The problem is that Egit/Eclipse is very slow at dealing with big Java projects (~2,000k files). Very slow means following on a windows 7/quad core/SSD setup: 60 seconds for drawing the commit window another 30 s for doing the commit (would be acceptable) 60 s for drawing the push window (changes view) another 120 s for pushing ...

Egit ignores files from playframework

Today I started to play around with git to create some patches. I choose egit for this job, because I don't know a nice gui for git and I'm a eclipse user. I created a branch and I changed the following files (result of git status) modified: .gitignore modified: framework/src/play/utils/Java.java modified: modules/crud/ap...
