I'm not able to find a solution to a documented bug in Eclipse (Luna 4.4). I've cloned a git repository from Github into my eclipse workspace view and imported the associated Maven project into my project space. When I then display the staging view in Eclipse, it appears, but says "No Repository Selected" up top. I'm therefore unable to drag any changed files into the staging area and commit them. How do I associate my cloned repository with the staging view?
How to select repository for staging view in Eclipse Luna 4.4?

Maybe you are missing one step. If you have a local repository already: 1. On "Quick Access" of your Eclipse search Git repository 2. Select Team option (Right click on project -> Team) and select Share Project, mark Use or create...and select .git directory of your project cloned. 3. Select Team option and now select Add Index 4. Select Team option and now select Commit, you will see Git View now has your project with the correct branch.
Try enabling linking between the Git Staging view and other views. You do so by pushing the "Link with Editor and Selection" button on the top right of the view, to the right of the "Refresh" button.
In the top image, the view is not linked.
In the bottom image, the view is linked and the button appears "pushed"
"Enabling linking between the Git Staging view and other views" didn't help in my case. I also tried deleting branch and checking out again. Nothing worked.
What I did was:
Right click on any of the modified file -> Team -> Commit.
Somehow it worked and I could see all modified files in unstaged changes.
