1. Install Eclipse IDE and Git Plugin (EGIT).

File --> Import -->  Git --> Projects from Git --> URI








3. Copy and paste the ssh://... link of your git repository into the URI field. (Everything else will be pre-populated)



4. Click Next. You will be prompted to enter the SSH key passphrase.

5. The master branch will be listed, select and click Next.



6. Specify a Local Destination directory for your repository and click Next.




7. Import in Eclipse (you have three options: (a) import an existing Eclipse project, (b) use new project wizard, (c) import as a general project)




NOTE: I chosed option (a) since my repository is already an existing Eclipse project.

Click Next and then Finish.

8. Your Eclipse project was imported in your local workspace.
