    Hi finally set up github/eGit on eclipse but just wondering which files I should save(Java).
    Should it only be the .java files?

    That depends on the project.

    You could just push everything.

    If not then I guess just push all project essential files, be they .java or otherwise.

    Imagine some other contributor is pulling the work. Or your pulling from a different PC. What will you need? Push that.

    Everything you need to use the project, minus private stuff (which personaly I think shouldn't even be in the VCS).

    At the moment really just using it to back up my code and make it easy to update any of my projects whether they are on the pc or my laptop.It would be a good habit to get into though(thinking of other users etc)

    Think carefully about what you think shouldn't be made public (assuming it's a public repo). production database connection details (username/password) especially.

    This is a great starting point: https://github.com/github/gitignore

    THIS!

    Recently there was a bunch of SSH keys harvested from github because a lot of people were careless. Github's public by default is why I use bitbucket tbh.
