Egit's Team context menu has only one option: Apply patch

Question

I'm sure that I inadvertently checked off a box somewhere which caused this problem where all of the other options are missing: fetch, push, merge, etc. On my other machines, when I right click on a project and select "Team", I'll get all of the menu options. On one laptop, all I get is a single option, "Apply patch..." I can go into the Git Repository View and get at all of the other GIT functions there, which is what I have to do when I want to synch up to a remote.

I haven't been able to figure out how to fix this so I can access all of the git functions from the regular editor view and it's driving me crazy. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Answer 1

Well, your project isn't associated with the Git Team Provider. I ran into the same problem when setting up eclipse juno with EGit.

• If not done already, initialise or clone your existing project with git
• Rightclick on your project and select:
• Team -> Share Project ... -> Git -> [check your project] -> Finish

Now all the Git options you were looking for should be in place.
