Multiple Git Branches in Multiple Eclipse Projects
branch, eclipse, git, svn
Solution
After much testing and a sanity check from @MarkLeightonFisher it seems it is not possible to have multiple Git branches open in the same Eclipse workspace at the same time.
Problem
We're in the process of converting from Subversion to Git and one thing that I'm struggling with in Git is the method of switching branches. My understanding is that at both at the command line and using EGit in Eclipse that switching to a different branch replaces the contents of the Eclipse workspace folder with that of the desired branch. This implies only one branch can be open at any one time. In SVN I could arrange my Eclipse workspace similar to: ``` Workspace/ Project1Branch/ Project2Branch/ Project3/ Project4Branch/ ``` Is it possible to have multiple Git branches open at the same time in the same Eclipse/Egit workspace ( or any other environment for that matter )?
