Creating Repositories

Creating a new empty Git Repository

This is currently not possible with EGit. You have to create a project first and to share it afterwards. The Share Project Wizard supports creation of Git repositories (see Adding a project to version control).

Creating a Git Repository for multiple Projects

You may first create all projects under a common directory and then create a common repository for all projects in one go:

• create the Eclipse projects e.g. a, b, c under a common directory e.g. /repos/examples/
• select all projects a, b, c - from context menu click Team > Share Project > Git
• press Next
• select all projects a, b, c
• the wizard automatically moves up the default repository location to the parent folder /repos/examples/ since multiple projects have been selected
• click Create Repository and click Finish
