Next, on Eclipse,select:

• Window > Show View > Other ...

Then search for a View named "Git Repositories", and click on "Open":

On the "Git Repositories" window opened, click on "Clone a Git repository":

Enter your username/password and the address of the GitHub Repository, then click Next.

• https://github.com/github2learn/my-repo-1

Select a directory to be used as a Local Repository. Note that this directory must be different from the "Eclipse Workspace" directory you are currently working on.

• C:\git\my-repo-1

After the complete "Clone", you will get an empty Local Repository, which does not contain any projects.

At this point, there are two possibilities:

• If you have the source code of the Java Project(s), and ready to bring to GitHub Repository.
• If you do not have Java Project(s), you need to create them before posting on GitHub Repository.

If you already have Java Project(s), copy and paste them into "Local Repository":

Then on Eclipse, import these projects from "Local Repository" into your "Eclipse Workspace".

• File > Import...

  • General > Existing Projects into Workspace

Select "Local Repository" as the root directory to import projects.

After the import is completed, you will see the projects shown on Eclipse:

Note: When you open the "Eclipse Workspace" folder, you will not see any projects. The source code of the projects is still in the "Local Repository" folder; therefore, any changes made to the source code of the projects will be stored in the Local Repository.

On the "Git Repositories" window, right click on a Repository and select "Commit" to push the changes of the project source code to GitHub Repository.

And you will see the projects displayed on GitHub:
