This page will help you get started with Git and getting the KIELER sources. For more detailed information, see Git's official documentation. The SVN Crash Course is probably a good place to start. For more in-depth information, see the Git Community Book or the Pro Git book. Furthermore, each office has a copy of another excellent book about Git, so you might as well go ahead and read it. This will help ease you in to some of the more advanced concepts of Git, which are a little hard to understand at first. If everything else fails, Miro and Tim will be more than happy to help you with Git and rant about how excellent of a system it is. For more information on Git Eclipse integration, see the EGit User's Guide.

As for what plug-ins you will actually need to checkout, ask your advisor.

You essentially have the choice of either checking out the KIELER sources using our project sets (preconfigured sets of plug-ins that are automatically imported into your Eclipse environment), or by selecting the plug-ins you want manually.

Checkout Using Team Project Sets

If you need a specific subset of the KIELER plugins, select a suitable project set, copy its URL, and select File - Import - Team - Team Project Set. There are two versions of the project sets:

For access using the SSH protocol you first need to do steps 1 to 3 of the manual checkout section below.

Manual Checkout

In case you only need read access, omit steps 1 to 4 and copy the following URI instead:

...

Checking out on the command line is done with the command git clone <URI> <local path>. Instead of the URI you can also use a path to an existing repository, which then creates a clone of that repository.

Adding an Existing Local Repository to EGit

If you have already cloned the KIELER repository and are only looking for a way to import it into EGit, follow these steps:
