Steps to get the code to your IDE(eclipse)
- Download/clone the code from git repository.
- Create a new folder in your desktop(let's say javaProject-workspace) and add the downloaded gitcode folder in it.
- For Eclipse, Create a new workspace with the directory being (Users/yourAwesomeName/...../javaProject-workspace) and click ok
- Now, we have to make eclipse detect the source code. Since the folder is already present in the workspace, you can start by creating a new Java project, and when you give it the name of the folder, eclipse will auto detect and add in defaults. In eclipse File-->New-->JavaProject-->Neu_Sep17_project(which is the downloded code from git).
- If you have already have git plugins for eclipse, eclipse will show the branch name and other details too.
Steps to get code to your IDE(intelliJ)
- Download/clone the code from git repository.
- Open the intelliJ and click on "Open"-> navigate to your project directory and open. intelliJ will automatically detect and add the project automatically.
- you can see the git controls on top right of your workspace. Alternatively you can commit using github shell or Github Desktop which provides UI for git functions.
- don't commit idea modules created by intelliJ automatically. Add them to gitignore file.
That's it...Start coding
Tip: Make sure you have the latest java jdk
