How to push an existing Eclipse project to GitHub?

Currently I'm developing some applications that I want to share with the community using GitHub.

I've found a lot of tutorials on how to create a GitHub repository from scratch, but I couldn't find one for sharing an existing Eclipse project. I would prefer a solution that works inside Eclipse using a GUI.


Solution 1:

You can follow this user guide section of git push (to a GitHub repo), adding a remote with the ssh address of your GitHub repo:

GitHub Egit ssh

See also this tutorial to push your local project to that GitHub repo.

Solution 2:

  1. Go to github create new repository
  2. Copy http URL from github
  3. Go to Eclipse --> Right click on project --> Team--> share project--> Create new Git Repo.
  4. Go to Git Staging--> add to index --> commit and push
  5. Right click on Git Repositories push to up stream
  6. Paste your http URL of githun which you copy in step 2
  7. Enter username and password of github -- > Finish
