In eclipse,
Window > Perspective > Open Perspective > Other > Git > Open.
Click on 'Clone a Git repository'.

Host: github.com
Repository Path: /<your github username>/kafka.git

Enter your github user name and password.
Check 'store in secure store'.

Click Next.

Select a branch, the latest is 0.8.2.
Pick all or pick one, it is your choice.
Usually, there should be a default 'master' branch, which is missing in this repo.

Click Next.

Choose local directory where you want to clone the sources.
Directory: ~/MySources/kafka
Initial Branch: 0.8.2 or the one you picked in previous step
