Open eclipse projects synced with git that are outside the workspace

Question

I have a project outside of my eclipse workspace, and I am using git to update it, and I want to use eclipse to work on the files. But if I do import existing projects into workspace in eclipse, will it only copy the contents of the project at the time? So when I pull new changes into the project, will the files automatically update in eclipse?

Answer 1

Clicked Import -> Existing projects into workspace and then selected the folder that was outside and left copy projects into workspace unchecked. It now works.
