title: Import an existing Git project into Eclipse without a .project file
body: <p>I've forked and cloned a project to the local machine from GitHub using the terminal and am trying to import it into Eclipse.</p>
  
  <p>The problem is the clone from GitHub doesn't have a <code>.project</code> file, so when I go import -> projects from Git, I can only import as a general project. How can I import the project to Eclipse without doing git init? Most of the solutions I saw have <code>.project</code> already there when they cloned it from Git.</p>
