sudo chown -R (git_user):(git_group) (REPO_NAME)ħ) Done with the server and back to Eclipse now we have to link our local repository to the Central one just created, and to allow secure access, we will use the “ssh” protocol from “Git Repositories” view right click on your repository “Remotes” and select “CreateRemote.:” let’s keep default settings (“Remote name”: origin and “Configure push” checked)Ĩ) In the following screen, click “Change” to insert the connection URI:ĩ) In the next screen, insert the URI of the Central repository in the following format (the one created at point 6) and then click “Finish”ġ0) Now that we are back to the previous screen with the correct URI, click “Save” and close itġ1) Back to “Package Explorer” view, Right click on the project (it should still have the question marks, meaning it has something to commit”) and select “Team -> Commit”ġ2) From here, click on “Commit and Push”: an authentication window will eventually appear if you did not save your password at point 9 or if your ssh is configured with preshared keys after successful “login” a “Results” window will showġ3) Well, we have almost done now we have to configure “Fetch” from “Git Repositories” expand your project repository, under Remotes right click on “origin” and click on “Configure Fetch…”ġ4) Click on “Advanced” and as “Source ref” select “refs/heads/master”, while for “Destination ref” set “refs/remotes/origin/master”ġ5) Click on the button “Add Spec” to insert the mapping just created:ġ6) Click on “Finish” to save the mapping and close the window now the “Configure Fetch” window of point 13 will show the mapping just created:Īfter all, it is not *that* hard.where the sources are stored) will be moved INSIDE this one, so you will have a Target location like /(USER_HOME)/git/(PROJECT_NAME)/(PROJECT_NAME) – your original “working directory” (for example, the one inside the Eclipse workspace) will be deleted be sure to UNCHECK “create repository inside parent folder”ģ) All the files will be shown with a question mark because they are all untracked moreover, beside the name of the project “NO-HEAD” will be shownĤ) Switching to “Git Repositories” view, the newly created repository will appear take note that for the moment being “Branches” folders (“Local” and “Remote Tracking”) and “Remotes” are emptyĥ) on SERVER, create a new bare repository for convention bare repositories names end with “.git”, so a good name could be (PROJECT_NAME).gitĦ) check permissions: repository’ directory should be owned by the server’s “git” user, and belong to a group of which the “committer” user is part moreover, the repository must be “shared” (the following commands are related to Linux machines) Then, inside Eclipse, the EGit plugin is required.ġ) From the “Package Explorer” view remove SVN usage (Team -> Disconnect) from your project, checking “Also delete SVN meta information from file system”Ģ) Share project with GIT (Team -> Share Project…) click “Create” button to create a new repository (for example /(USER_HOME)/git/(PROJECT_NAME)) – keep in mind that the working directory (i.e. The “committer” (ie, the developer that commit its work on the central repository) should have an ssh access to the server that hosts the repository. I have my own server with both Subversion and GIT servers, so as prerequisite you should set up your own Central repository (well, of course you may also use GitHub). Now, back to topic, after reading some basics, I thought I was ready for the big jump, so my very first step was to move my repositories from SVN to GIT. The only thing I would underline, though, is that GIT is conceptually really different from Subversion so, you have to get used to that and to keep in mind that in this two VCS the same terms and operations (may) mean and works in different way.

I won’t dive in the GIT philosophy and functionality (here’s a really well written and free book: Pro Git by Scott Chacon). I still am a “noob” about GIT, but my latest experience with SVN in a team (the “merge” nightmare: sounds familiar?) definitely persuaded me. After a lot of hesitation I finally decided to move my VCS from dear old Subversion to GIT, and so the repository of my projects.
