In this blog, we're going to learn how to configure Git on Eclipse. I am going to explain every step with screenshots.

• Eclipse version: Mars.1 Release (4.5.1)

• Type of Git: Bitbucket Atlassian.

Step 1

Open Eclipse. On the top-right, you will find all the perspectives like Java, Java EE, debug, etc.

Search for Git and click on it.

Step 2

Click on the icon marked below to clone a Git repository and add the clone to this view.

Git repositories will be empty to start.

Step 3

The window below will appear where we choose our source Git repo.

To get the URI, log into your Bitbucket account. Click here to sign-up

Copy your repository's HTTPS link and paste it in the window above.

Once you paste the validated URI, the rest of the fields will get auto-filled. 

Click Next.

Step 4

Then the Branch Selection window will appear. Just select the branches you want to clone from the repository. Then click Next.

Step 5

Another model window appears.i.e., Local Destination.

Select directory to store the Cloned Repository.

Select Initial Branch like Master or Branch1 or Branch2.

Click Finish

After clicking Finish, you should be able to see newly created repository in the Git Repository Explorer.

Now you have successfully configured Git on Eclipse! You can import a Git project into Eclipse and perform any Git operations.
