====Gitting an Eclipse Project====
There is a discussion if you should put multiple projects in one git repository or having a git repository for each eclipse projects. It seems that the second options is better if the projects are not related. The same applies to what should be included in a git repository and what should be ignored (see [http://blog.askjoelit.com/2014/07/eclipse-team-projects-best-practices.html here]).

See list below which files and folders should be in scope of git:
* \src\...
* \.settings\   // if projects settings differ from workspace settings
* \.classpath   // e.g. what is the source, where does the class files go, ...
* \.project

See list below which should be ignored:
* \bin\...  // or anything which can be recreated

* Right click on project -> Team -> Share Project
* Select repository or create a new one // moves the complete project to the repository 
* select files or folder and Team -> Add/Ignore

====Adding a file to the Index====
* Right Click on File -> Team -> Add to Index

====Unignore File or Directory====
* edit .gitignore and delete the rows
* add to file to index

====Committing Changes====
* Right Click on Project -> Team -> Commit opens the commit view

====Creating Project from Local Repository====
* File -> Import
* Git -> Projects
* Existing Local Repository
* Select Repository Directory
* Import as General Project
* Right Mouse on Project -> Configure -> ...Facet...
* Select Java (and additional)
