Using git with Liferay Developer Studio on OS X

To set up Liferay Developer Studio to use git on OSX you might run into an issue that the git configuration options are not shown in the preferences window. To fix this you can run Developer Studio with the -clean option. Here is a short list of steps to getting egit working:

1. Install egit/JGit by adding this software site: 

egit - http://download.eclipse.org/egit/updates

2. Restart DeveloperStudio with the -clean option 

/Applications/DeveloperStudio.app/Contents/MacOS/DeveloperStudio -clean

3. Import existing git repositories using Import > Git > Projects from Git.

4. Have fun with git! Further info about egit can be found here: https://wiki.eclipse.org/EGit/User_Guide
