How to share project to Git repo in Eclipse without the folder with the same name as the project?


In general, the name of a Git repo is the same as the name of project, there will no longer be a folder with the same name inside the repo. This structure is like commons-io.

But when I

  1. create a repo "com.abc.test" in GitHub and create a Java project "com.abc.test" in local
  2. clone the repo from GitHub
  3. share this Java project to repo

The structure looks like this

It's not what I want. What should I do ?


Solution

    1. Create a repo "com.abc.test" in GitHub
    2. Clone the repo from GitHub
    3. Create a Java project "com.abc.test" in local, but do not use the default location. Instead, use the clone's location. Some options will apparently be locked out, but nothing you can't adjust afterward.
