			It should see the repository that you setup above.

			* Click Finish.

			That should be you done.

New page

So after having a bit of a head bashing session getting an eclipse project to work nicely with a git repository hosted on github, I thought I'd throw my approach up here to save others torture.

=- Eclipse git plugin ==
I'm using EGit.

I used Eclipse's Update Manager, adding http://download.eclipse.org/egit/updates as the site for the plugin.

== Eclipse Project ==
I went about setting up my project in eclipse as per usual, noting the location of my workspace.

== Git Repo ==
I'm using ubuntu, so I installed the necessary git tools with the following command:

<code>
sudo apt-get install git-core
</code>

I then opened a terminal and cd'd to the location of my project in the eclipse workspace, noted above.

<code>
cd /home/dregin/workspace/Project-Name/
</code>

I then set up a .git repo following the steps provided by github, [http://help.github.com/creating-a-repo/ here].

<code>
git config --global user.name "My Name"
git config --global user.email email@address.com
</code>

'''NOTE:''' At this point the steps want you to create/move into a directory, but we're already in the directory we're going to use.

<code>
git init
git add .
git commit -m 'My first commit'
git remote add origin git@github.com:username/repository-name.git
push origin master
</code>
'''NOTE:''' If this isn't your first commit to the repository you plan on using you should merge with the remote repository as follows:
<code>
git fetch origin
git merge origin/master
push origin master
