What are you asking?

1. Do you need to know how to install a Git plugin for Eclipse?  
If this is what you’re asking I can offer you no advice. I don’t use  
Eclipse, or any IDE for working with Git. The Git command line works  
great for me.

2. Are you asking how to use Git in general?  
If this is what you need, then a forum is not the right place to learn  
about Git. There’s far too much involved to explain over a forum. I can  
however direct your to where you can get more info on using Git than  
you’ll likely ever need: [Git - Documentation](http://git-scm.com/documentation)

For a more guided tour of Git I did a presentation a few months ago for  
a local Cocoa programmer’s group that you can find online:

Fair warning though, this turned out to be a looong presentation,  
there’s a lot of content in there, and it really only scratches the  
surface of what Git can do.
