There is only one option in the context menu of Egit Team: apply the patch

Question

I am sure that I accidentally deleted the box somewhere, which caused this problem when all other parameters were missing: fetch, click, merge, etc. On my other computers, when I right-click on the project and select "Command", I will get all the menu options. On one laptop, I get only one option, "Apply the patch ...". I can go into the Git repository view and get all the other Git functions there, what should I do when I want to synchronize with the remote.

I was not able to figure out how to fix this, so I can access all the Git features from a normal editor view, and it drives me crazy. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Answer 1

Well, your project is not affiliated with the Git Team Provider. I ran into the same problem when setting up eclipse juno with EGit.

• If not already done, initialize or clone an existing project with git
• Rightclick in your project and select:
• Team → Share project ... → Git → [check your project] → Finish

Now all the Git options you were looking for should be in place.
