How to configure Groovy/Grails Tool Suite (GGTS) to import Git projects

Ok, i admit, this post seems to be very stupid, but i often struggle with this IDE to import already existing git commited Grails project and configure the IDE to be attached to the git repository.

So this is my short how-to.


First, from the repository view select "clone a git repository". Add all the needed informations and clone it.

Then right-click the repository and select Import projects. Now select Import existing projects and proceed with the setup (which now will be easy).

Now, your project will be imported correctly and already connected to the git repository.

If you directly clone the project from command line and then import it via GGTS IDE, your project will not be connected to the git repository.
