Eclipse: Git how to push after a local commit

Question

I sometimes realize a local commit with Eclipse and then decide to push my project but Eclipse offers me only two solutions "Commit and Push" or "Commit".

The problem is I cannot make a "commit and push" if I haven't changed anything after my "Commit".

Fair enough, I only have to change a line on my code and can push it but it seems to me like an awkward solution. Is there a better way to do so?

Answer 1

You can always just open Eclipse's built-in terminal (or any other terminal app) and execute: git push.

On a side note: getting used to using git on the command line enables you to easily switch between different IDEs and editors without having to re-learn the respective quirks of the git integration of the IDE de jour every time you switch.

Answer 2

In the Package Explorer, Project Explorer, etc. right-click the project folder and choose Team > Push to Upstream.

Alternatively, you can use Quick Access (Ctrl+3) and enter push to upstream (assuming a file of a Git repository is selected or opened).

For a Git main menu and Git icons in the main toolbar, in Window > Perspective > Customize Perspective..., in the tab Action Set Availability check the checkbox Git.
