Question

I am in need of help in trying to setup Eclipse so that I can push my code onto my GitHub account. I\'ve searched online and the tutorials I have found are either outdated or do

Answer 1

Alright, there are several ways of doing this. I found this to be the easiest way:

First, set up SSH2 configurations. Go to Windows->Preferences->General->Network Connections->SSH2->Key Management and Generate RSA Key. Save Key

Copy that key. You will need to go to your GitHub account settings and add the new SSH key to your account.

Now, you need to install eGit:

Next, you want to add the Git Repositories view:

Create a new Git Repository. I have already created a repository called Java. I will refer to that repo for the rest of the explanation.

After you create your repository, it should show up in the Git Repositories view. Now to add your project to the repository, right click on your project and select Team->Share Project.

Select the repository you just created. You can also use CTRL+ to select multiple projects and place them in one repository.

Now go back to your Git Repositories view. Go to Remotes . Right click and select Create Remote.

Select Change... and enter the SSH link for your Repository on GitHub. For connection, select SSH. Then press Finish. For Rev-mapping, select Advanced.... For Source Ref select refs/heads/master. And then press Add Spec, then select Save specifications in 'origin' configuration. Then press finish. That's pretty much it. You can commit changes by right clicking your project - >Team->Commit...`

Push new commits to GitHub:

This is a really good explanation on how to set up Eclipse pull requests.

The current branch is not configured for pull No value for key branch.master.merge found in configuration
