I need to checkout on my Eclipse Workspace an existing project hosted on GitHub. I have the project URL, and I already installed Egit and Mylyn. But I don't know what the next step is. Could you help me?

If you already have mylyn and egit, then you may also want to install the github connector. Afterwards you can directly import a github repository just giving the name (see the second screenshot of the link).

Doing this, the repository is added to the "Git Repositories" view. Now, how can I import it as a (Maven/Ant/Eclipse) project into Eclipse in order to work with the project(s) hosted within this Github repository? – Abdull Aug 20 '13 at 23:27

Scenario: this repository hosts a Maven project (`pom.xml`) and I want to import it as a project into Eclipse. Solution: Right click repository -> "Import Projects..." -> "Import as general project" -> "Finish". Now right-click the newly created project -> "Configure" -> "Convert to Maven Project". Now right-click project and select "Run As..." -> "Maven Build..." for building options .......... is there any less awkward solution? – Abdull Aug 21 '13 at 19:10

For a Maven project the most easy way is Import -> Maven -> Materialize from SCM, without any of the above steps. And please create your own questions for unrelated questions. This will totally confuse further readers. – Bananeweizen Aug 21 '13 at 19:19

I'm sorry for hurting your feelings. I read the question ass importing a project, not (only) about importing a repository. – Abdull Aug 21 '13 at 23:05
