I should clarify that I am not using eclipse nor am I using any GUI. My objective is to have Java API access to git from within a servlet using jgit. At present, all I have to go on is javadoc and its not clear where to begin if I simply wish to create, read and update files in a git repo from within the servlet java code.

TIA for your help.
