How to use Eclipse to observe a CLion project in Git

Question

There is a C/C++ project in GitLab made with CLion & Cygwin. Since I don't have CLion, I want to use Eclipse to simply look at the source files, pull updates, etc. I don't need to edit, build, or run it.

I can't figure out how to make this work. I've been able to use Eclipse to clone the repo locally, but am stuck on what to do next.

Answer 1

As mentioned in comments, the solution (after cloning the repo) is to create a new "Makefile Project with existing code". Enter the project name and point it at the local repo. In my case, for Toolchain I selected MacOSX GCC.
