IDEA IntelliJ git clone

I am new to git and IntelliJ. I would like to get the project source code from a remote git repository and work with it using IntelliJ. I use Eclipse and SVN, which have a "Checkout as Project" dialog.

I tried using "Check out from version control", but without any success.

  • As a "GIT repo url", I entered git+ssh:// user@devserver.dev.org :/var/git/myProject
  • As the "parent Dir" I added the local directory /home/myName
  • As "Dir Name" I added myProject

I clicked the clone button and nothing happened on the IDE. It creates the directory /home/myName/myProject with .git configurations, but nothing was extracted from the remote repository and Wizzard's "New Project" did not appear.

Can someone shed some light on how this will be done using IntelliJ and git compared to Eclipse and SVN? I am using IDEA 10.5 and Fedora LINUX OS.

With intelliJ there will always be something that could be improved. In this particular case, a progress bar will be displayed at the bottom of the window.

If you first create an empty project (without modules), then use Version Control -> Checkout from version control -> Git , you will have a Version Control -> Checkout from version control -> Git tab at the bottom of the window where you can at least see the commands sent to git. So far, no progress has been seen, and if you are lucky, like me, he will sit there silently while git is dropping the repo stream from 40 KB / s (and we are connecting to 100 MB).

In the end, this will allow you to create a new project for this repo, and the tags / branches in your repo will be spewed out in the version control dashboard (on another tab). It works, but too damn quiet.
