I'm using the J2EE bundle of Eclipse Kepler, and I'm working with Git.
I'm also using git-extension as a UI to git, and I wouldn't trade it for anything else, so for me egit is just an annoyance that brings information that I don't want on my screen.
How can I permanently remove it from eclispe ?

Eclipse EGit™ EGit is an Eclipse Team provider for the Git version control system. Git is a distributed SCM, which means every developer has a full copy of all history of every revision of the code, making queries against the history very fast and versatile.
you can look in the “All Available Sites” drop down panel if EGit is existing there or add update site with the Add… button. enter this URI: http://download.eclipse.org/egit/updates. choose the JGit and the Eclipse Team Provider and Finish the installation.
JGit is the Java implementation of Git. It is a library, that also can be used in your own applications. It also provides some sort of CLI operations. EGit on the other side is the Eclipse team provider plugin for Git, which uses JGit as Git implementation.
It's easiest to just disable EGIT from automatically managing your projects at import via Window - Preferences - Team - Git - Projects:
This will stop new projects from being managed, but projects that were imported before the change will still need EGIT to be disabled manually for the project. You can just right click -> Team -> Disconnect and they will no longer be managed by EGIT.
Just right click your project, and choose team > disconnect
