I'm trying to understand how EGIT works.

With Spring Tool Suite, created a java project, put it under version control with EGIT plugin and pushed it to my account on Github.

When I try to fetch (as you can see in the image) EGIT says Nothing to fetch. enter image description here

Some guides say configure fetch with right click->configure fetch.

1) What does "configure fetch" mean? Does it mean binding a branch on my computer with the relative branch on the server?

2) When configuring fetch, I have to select a source. If I have many branches on the remote, what's the right source? There something I don't understand in this step. enter image description here

Maybe there is no changes to fetch and your local repository is up to date so there is "Nothing to fetch". Could u check your remotes by typing: git remote -v? There should be your remote github repository branches. Check this solution, this problem looks similar but at first I would like to recommend you to check remotes.

  • Thank you, your link cleared my doubts. I made the same error of the guy that wrote the post. The error was that I hadn't 'configure the fecth'. Thank you :) – MDP Jan 23 '19 at 15:44
