Installation and configuration EGit in Eclipse or Spring Tool Suite
How to install GIT I describe in my post “How install GIT on Windows 7?”.
After installation of GIT, on my computer files are in the git
folder in C
disk as you see below.
If you would like to use Git in Eclipse Oxygen
or Spring Tool Suite 3.9.0
, you don’t need install EGit tool, because is included in this IDE. But if you have version below June Eclipse or older STS, open from menu Help->Eclipse Marketplace
.
The wizard appears. In the Search
tab into Find
field write EGit
word and type Enter
.
The list software will appears. Click the Install
button, the Installed
button says that it is installed in the IDE.
How to configure Spring Tol Suite
?
First you can set user name and email for commit files.
From the menu choose Window->Preferences
.
Go to the Team->Git->Configuration

Click the Add Entry

In the same way add email with value.
Click the Apply and Close
