Eclipse plugin for Git- EGit

EGit is an Eclipse Team provider for the Git version control system. Git is a distributed SCM, which means every developer has a full copy of all history of every revision of the code, making queries against the history very fast and versatile. Most Eclipse IDE downloads from Eclipse.org contain support for Git in their default configuration. In this case no additional installation is required

The EGit project is implementing Eclipse tooling on top of the JGit Java implementation of Git.

If the Git functionality is missing in your Eclipse IDE installation, you can install it via the Eclipse installation manager. Start this manager via the Help -> Install new Software... menu entry by using the following update site URL:
