EGit is the de facto standard plugin for working with Git in Eclipse. It's even included with Eclipse now with the release of Neon. If you have a version of Eclipse earlier than Neon, you'll need to install EGit through Eclipse's update feature, or upgrade your Eclipse installation. The latter is probably the better way to go.

EGit does not like to use Git in the way that you're probably used to, and this creates confusion. Normally, you would clone a repository to your working directory, then command-line git takes care of the rest when you commit, push, pull, etc. EGit likes to keep the local copy of your repository somewhere outside of the project structure.
