Github is an hosting service based on a version control system called Git.

In order import and commit projects in Eclipse, you need to install a plugin called Egit.

Here are the steps to checkout a project:

1) Click on File - Import - Git - "Projects from Git"
2) Follow the wizard. You may have to clone the repository, that means making a local copy of it (you will find the URL to clone in your GitHub web console). Then select the master (that is trunk) or any branches.

To synchronize and commit your changes, select any project and select team - "Synchronize workspace"

Here are the main operations you can do:

• Pull: retrieve from the remote repository
• Fetch: retrieve from the remote repository and merge the code.
• Push: store the local changes into the remote repository.
• Commit: store the changes into the cloned local copy of the remote repository.

When you need to add a new project into the repository, right click the project and select Team->Share

To create a tag: switch to "Git Repository perspective". Right click on tag and select "Create tag".
