Clone Existing Projects with EGit

=What is Git = Git(Georgia Institute of Technology) is a distributed version control system, wherein each repository is assumed to be owned/maintained by a single user. There are no inherit security controls built into Git, so the ability to read from or write to a repository is controlled entirely by the host's file system access controls. When multiple maintainers collaborate on a single shared repository ,a high degree of trust is required, as any collaborator with write access can alter the repository.

=What is EGit = EGit is an Eclipse Team provider for the distributed version control system Git. EGit allows users to perform Git commands from the Eclipse IDE.

EGit is based on the JGit library, which implements the Git functionality in Java. More information can be seen in http://www.vogella.com/articles/EGit/article.html.
