We'd like to capture some common CVS workflows used by the Eclipse Project and spell out the git/EGit equivalent.

Clone your repo

The first step is to clone the one or more repos you need to work on. You want to clone the repo to a location outside your workspace. Then use the EGit Import Projects option to import the projects.

Refer to the EGit/User Guide for instructions and pictures.

1. Switch to the Git Repository Exploring Perspective
2. Use Clone a Git repository
3. you can paste in your connection URL and it should do the right thing. Some URLs:
   1. ssh://userid@git.eclipse.org/gitroot/equinox/rt.equinox.bundles.git
   2. ssh://userid@git.eclipse.org/gitroot/equinox/rt.equinox.framework.git
   3. ssh://userid@git.eclipse.org/gitroot/equinox/rt.equinox.incubator.git
   4. ssh://userid@git.eclipse.org/gitroot/equinox/rt.equinox.p2.git
   5. ssh://userid@git.eclipse.org/gitroot/equinox/rt.equinox.security.git
   6. ssh://userid@git.eclipse.org/gitroot/jdt/eclipse.jdt.core.git
   7. ssh://userid@git.eclipse.org/gitroot/jdt/eclipse.jdt.debug.git
   8. ssh://userid@git.eclipse.org/gitroot/jdt/eclipse.jdt.git
   9. ssh://userid@git.eclipse.org/gitroot/jdt/eclipse.jdt.ui.git
   10. ssh://userid@git.eclipse.org/gitroot/pde/eclipse.pde.build.git
   11. ssh://userid@git.eclipse.org/gitroot/pde/eclipse.pde.git
   12. ssh://userid@git.eclipse.org/gitroot/pde/eclipse.pde.incubator.git
   13. ssh://userid@git.eclipse.org/gitroot/pde/eclipse.pde.ui.git
   14. ssh://userid@git.eclipse.org/gitroot/platform/eclipse.platform.debug.git
   15. ssh://userid@git.eclipse.org/gitroot/platform/eclipse.platform.git
   16. ssh://userid@git.eclipse.org/gitroot/platform/eclipse.platform.releng.git
   17. ssh://userid@git.eclipse.org/gitroot/platform/eclipse.platform.resources.git
   18. ssh://userid@git.eclipse.org/gitroot/platform/eclipse.platform.runtime.git
   19. ssh://userid@git.eclipse.org/gitroot/platform/eclipse.platform.swt.git
   20. ssh://userid@git.eclipse.org/gitroot/platform/eclipse.platform.team.git
   21. ssh://userid@git.eclipse.org/gitroot/platform/eclipse.platform.text.git
   22. ssh://userid@git.eclipse.org/gitroot/platform/eclipse.platform.ua.git
   23. ssh://userid@git.eclipse.org/gitroot/platform/eclipse.platform.ui.git
4. Next
5. Select all branches to clone
6. Next
7. Confirm the location that it will clone the repository into.
8. an initial branch of master and a remote name of origin are standard.
9. Finish

Now just sit back while git copies the entire repo to your harddrive :-)

Start working in HEAD

Start working in a new branch

Create a patch

Apply a patch

Tag the mapfile for a build

Commit changes to HEAD

Update to pull in the latest changes to HEAD

Merge conflicting changes
