An alpha release of the plug-in for connecting GitHub to
Mylyn for
Eclipse has been released this week. If you are not familiar with the project, Mylyn is a set of plug-ins that add support for working with task management systems, build systems and code revision tools inside the Eclipse IDE.
The GitHub plugin for Mylyn was built on the basis of new
Issues 2.0 features, such as project milestones, notification and filtering, and
new APIs for tasks and gists . This initial release supports creating, updating, commenting, searching and monitoring tasks inside Eclipse.
Gists are also supported, now you can select text in the editor or select a file and select
“Create Gist” (“Create Gist”) in the context menu. The gist will be created in the background and you will be shown a pop-up notification with a link.
You can also browse and search for Gists from Eclipse, open Gist files in the Eclipse editor, and add or update them. If you want to work with Gists as Git repositories, simply click the
“Clone” button on the toolbar and the Gist will be cloned locally and imported as an Eclipse project.
