# Running EGit from Eclipse

Now that everything builds, the next step is to run an Eclipse instance with the EGit/JGit code of the workspace:

- Right click on the org.eclipse.egit.ui project
- Debug As > Eclipse Application

This should create a new launch configuration and start a new nested Eclipse instance in debug mode. The created launch configuration can be edited, e.g. to change where the workspace of the nested Eclipse should be located.

The launch configuration can also be used in normal (non-debug) mode of course.
