egit for eclipse: How do I put my existing project in the clone of my buddies repo?

Question

My buddy gave me his git address for the project we are going to work on. In Eclipse using egit I cloned his branch.

So now in my Git view I have my own repository I created of an existing project. I want this existing project to be on my buddies branch so we can both check it out and have it in our repo.

Unfortunately I am using Windows to do this because we are developing a game and I do all of the art & animation in addition to programming. I would feel much more comfortable on the cmd line than using this plugin..

Any help is much appreciated!

The notion of repo and branch are quite different.
If you have a clone of our buddy's repo, you can work on a branch named like the one your buddy uses (by default ' master ' if he hadn't created any other), and everything you will push will be added/merged to the remote branch in the remote repo.

For more on Egit, see this " Git with Eclipse (EGit) - Tutorial ", and check if yuo can push at least one file, that your colleague will be able to pull from the remote repo and see directly in his branch.
