How do you install JGit?

Question

I read about this nice Eclipse plugin called JGit which allows one to use Git without installing it on the machine and commit from within Eclipse.

However, on their page, there are no instructions on how to install it. I've also tried "Install New Software" in Eclipse, but it was unable to find JGit.

How do you install it?

Answer 1

Everything is mentioned on this page . Quoting:

JGit can be installed from the EGit repository:

• Main Site: http://download.eclipse.org/egit/updates (Recommended)
• Mars Site (Mars.1 currently has JGit 4.0.3): http://download.eclipse.org/releases/mars

When you select "Install New Software..." in Eclipse, you should enter the URL: http://download.eclipse.org/egit/updates .

Answer 2

Take a look at EGit instead. JGit is the base API, while EGit is the Eclipse integration.

Take a look at this response too: installing EGit under Eclipse Luna (4.4.1)

Answer 3

JGit是一个用Java实现git的库，它还提供了一个命令行工具，如果要集成到Eclipse中，应安装EGit ，它使用JGit在Eclipse中提供git集成。
