Using Git With Eclipse Remote Systems Explorer


I am doing web development using CFEclipse with Classic Eclipse (Indigo) on a Windows Server.

I am using Remote Systems Explorer to access a Linux box via sftp.

The Linux box has Git installed. There is one branch in the development folder.

I have installed EGit in Eclipse, but there are no provisions for working with a remote system.

Because I cannot develop locally, how should I checkout files, edit and review changes in a browser, and ultimately commit properly? There is no local repository and checking out files through ssh (putty) while editing them in Eclipse does not show my changes when browsed.


Solution

  • If you can access to the remote location through ssh why you don't just simply clone the repository in local and then pull and push the changes ?

    I think that cloning the the repository is the best bet in your situation, you have only to install msysgit on your windows machine ...
