4 EGit is an Eclipse plugin for working with Git repositories. It is based
5 on the JGit library, which is a Git implementation in pure Java.
7 This package is licensed under the EPL. Please refer to the LICENSE file
8 for the complete license.
10 This package is composed of the following major components:
12 - org.eclipse.egit.core
14 An Eclipse plugin providing an interface to org.eclipse.jgit
15 and support routines to allow processing against the Eclipse
16 workspace and resource APIs, rather than the standard Java
17 file APIs. It also supplies the team provider implementation.
21 An Eclipse plugin providing the user interface on top of
22 org.eclipse.egit.core.
24 - org.eclipse.egit.core.test
26 Unit tests for org.eclipse.egit.core.
28 - org.eclipse.egit.ui.test
30 UI tests for org.eclipse.egit.ui.
34 A plugin for packaging
36 - org.eclipse.egit-feature
38 Also packaging. This project is for building an Eclipse "feature"
39 out of the plugins above.
41 - org.eclipse.egit.repository
43 This package is for producing a p2 repository, i.e. a web site
44 you can point your eclipse at and just upgrade.
46 There are other components which provide integration with other plugins.
51 - Symbolic links are supported on Java 7 and higher and require that the
52 optional JGit Java 7 feature is installed. For remaining issues
53 with symbolic link support see

67 is written in the commit log and source files themselves.
