When I commit a project an extra project dir is created

Question

I commit a project on github using these steps :

Right click your project, select Team -> Share Project -> Git. Select the proposed line and press "Create repository". Press finish.

Right-mouse click on your project and select "Team" -> "Push". A dialog pops up. Maintain the following data. Adjust the hightlighted line so that you are using your user and your project name.

But when I view my project on github this is my project structure : myproject -> myproject -> src

When it should be : myproject -> src

So an extra level with the project name is being created on github. Am I commiting the project correctly ?

When I try to share the project with "Use or create repository in parent folder of project" enabled the project path is "c:\homedir\git\egit-test1\egit-test1" Should it not be "c:\homedir\git\egit-test1\" ?

If you don't want the additional directory level in your git repository, you need to enable the "Use or create repository in parent folder of project" option at the very top of the "Configure Git Repository" dialog (Team -> Share Project... -> Git).

However, this will create the repository directly in your workspace and not in the default repository folder, which is not recommended. But you can move the project to the right place and re-import it into your workspace in a second step.

Another option would be to create the repository on github first. Afterwards you can clone the github repository and move your code into it.
