MY SOLUTION: "Delete all folders from USER_FOLDER ( .p2 .eclipse ) and PROGRAMFILES. Remember to reboot!!!! Now all works fine with eclipse oxygen and git project"

  1. Check if you have already installed Git or not.
  2. See if git variable is properly set in environment or not.
  3. Try to execute git command in command prompt, it should work first.

Once all above steps are Okay, try restarting eclipse in clean mode.

Eclipse may be searching for a bash executable.

If you have Cygwin installed, add the Cygwin bin directory (for example, C:\cygwin64\bin) to your Path environment variable. Then restart eclipse.

The Cygwin bin directory includes bash.exe.

I had the exact same issue: Eclipse was not responding when trying to configure git.

I used Java VisualVM and discovered that Eclipse was not responding because of Eclipse JGit was searching for git.

I am on Windows, Git for Windows was installed, but for a strange reason the Environment Variable pointing on Git was not defined.

I had to add the directory of git.exe (C:\Program Files\Git\bin) in the System variable named Path.

Eclipse is not freezing anymore.

The GIT plugin of Eclipse tries to detect whether to use the GIT executable of the OS, or the build-in GIT. Therefor it uses a bash command.

Before the Windows Creators Update, the bash command did not exist (unless you've installed CygWin or a similar program). With the Windows Creators Update, a new feature Windows Subsystem for Linux is added. When the bash command is first called, it asks whether to install this feature or not.

So in order to fix GIT in Eclipse, you just have to manually run bash once and install it. You may have to activate Developer Mode in Windows.
