Both Egit and Jgit themselves have multiple projects in the same repo. All projects must be located in the same directory structure.

repo/.git
    |`--project1/.git
    |`--project2

etc Other variations are possible.

Share only tells Eclipse to attach EGit as the team provider, provided it is located in a git repo, or lets you create a repo if none exists.
