Git repository seems empty while opening in eclipse

Question

I am using GitHub for sharing my code. I cloned the code from the server to my local repository and can see all my projects in the Windows Explorer.

But when i make this my Eclipse Workspace and open it in Eclipse, it seems to be empty. I can't see any projects there.

Why not?

What are you doing exactly, if you tell whole process then someone could help you. — Pratik Dasa, May 14 '14 at 05:23

Nevaeh, you just need to import your project. Go to import-> existing code-> select your project-> that's it — Pratik Dasa, May 14 '14 at 05:32

This is not the right way to do it. You _must_ use a form of import to have Eclipse create the right infrastructure for your sources. — Thorbjørn Ravn Andersen, May 14 '14 at 06:00

@Nevaeh create a new workspace elsewhere, and import your current sources. — Thorbjørn Ravn Andersen, May 14 '14 at 06:12
@Nevaeh..have you try... file -> import -> git -> projects from git -> local -> add -> Browse ( add path of your project ) -> finish -> finish — Waqar Ahmed, May 14 '14 at 06:20

man first time you have to do it . without import eclipse doesn't recognize them . ok he knows only workspace folder but he doesn't know what the content you have to put in your workspace folder may be it would be a image, vedio , audio etc so you need to say to eclipse that its your project ... – Tanim reja May 14 '14 at 05:48
but when i imported,all the files i pulled was overwritten and now i have lot of uncommited changes – Nevaeh May 14 '14 at 05:51
may be first time it will happen . some months ago i have done this , but now exactly i cant say whats going on ... but remember without any import you will never found you project in your eclipse – Tanim reja May 14 '14 at 05:59

I redid everything again from scratch. Seems like it was some problem with the cloning and the repository. It is working fine now.
