[eclipse] Push eclipse project to GitHub with EGit

I am successfully pushing my project to GitHub using EGit. My repository is called HelloWorld. My project in eclipse is also called HelloWorld. My problem is when i push the project it is upload the project under the folder HelloWorld. So the result is the repository HelloWorld then the folder HelloWorld and the the src folder. To be more understandable here is the link of the project. I want under the repository HelloWorld to have the src folder. How can I achieve that?

I have the same issue and solved it by reading this post, while solving it, I hitted a problem: auth failed.

And I finally solved it by using a ssh key way to authorize myself. I found the EGit offical guide very useful and I configured the ssh way successfully by refer to the Eclipse SSH Configuration section in the link provided.

Hope it helps.

Simple Steps:

-Open Eclipse.

• Select Project which you want to push on github->rightclick.
• select Team->share Project->Git->Create repository->finish.(it will ask to login in Git account(popup).
• Right click again to Project->Team->commit. you are done
