[android] How do you synchronise projects to GitHub with Android Studio?

I am trying to synchronise a project that I have on in my Android Studio folder to GitHub, but I am not fully sure what to do other than adding my credentials in the options menu. Could someone give me a quick guide, please?

Android Studio 3.0

I love how easy this is in Android Studio.

1. Enter your GitHub login info

In Android Studio go to File > Settings > Version Control > GitHub. Then enter your GitHub username and password. (You only have to do this step once. For future projects you can skip it.)

2. Share your project

With your Android Studio project open, go to VCS > Import into Version Control > Share Project on GitHub.

Then click Share and OK.

That's all!

For existing project end existing repository with files:

git init
git remote add origin <.git>
git checkout -b master
git branch --set-upstream-to=origin/master master
git pull --allow-unrelated-histories

This isn't specific to Android Studio, but a generic behaviour with Intellij's IDEA.

Go to: Preferences > Version Control > GitHub

Also note that you don't need the github integration: the standard git functions should be enough (VCS > Git, Tool Windows > Changes)

In the version of Android Studio I have (0.3.2), it was as easy as using the menu.

VCS Menu > Git > Share on GitHub.

It will then ask you for your credentials, and then a name for your new repo, and that's it!

For Android Studio 0.8.9: VCS --> Import into version contraol --> Share project on Github. It doesn't give you option to share in a specific repository or at least I couldn't find (my limitation!).

You can add your github info here: File --> Settings --> Version COntraol --> Github.

Following method is a generic way of pushing an Android Studio project to a GIT based repository solely using GUI.This has been tested with a GIT repository hosted in Visual Studio Online and should virtually work with GitHub or any other GIT based version control provider.

Note: If you are using GitHub 'Share on GitHub' is the easiest option as stated in other answers.

1. Enable the GIT Integration plugin

   File (main menu) >> Settings >> Search for GitHub Integration

2. Enable Version Control Integration for The Project

   VCS (main menu) >> Enable Version Control Integration >> Select GIT

3. Add project file to Local repository

   Right Click on project >> GIT >> Add

4. Commit Added Files

   Open the Version Control windows (Next to terminal window) >> Click commit button

   

   In the prompt window select "commit and push"

   

5. Defining Remote

   After analyzing code android studio will prompt to review or commit code when committed will be prompt to define the remote repository.There you can add the url to GIT repository.

   Then enter the credentials for the repository and click 'Ok'.(Visual Studio online Users need to enable "alternate authentication credentials" as mentioned here to login to repository)

   

Github with android studio

/*For New - Run these command in terminal*/
echo "# Your Repository" >> README.md
git init
git add README.md
git commit -m "first commit"
git remote add origin https://github.com/username/repository.git
git push -u origin master

/*For Exist - Run these command in terminal*/
git remote add origin https://github.com/username/repository.git
git push -u origin master
//git push -f origin master
//git push origin master --force

/*For Update - Run these command in terminal*/
git add .
git commit -m "your message"
git push

In Android Studio 0.8.2 , you have the same option (ie Share on GitHub). If you want to find it, you can use ctrl+shift+a and enter github in the input text.

On Android Studio 1.0.2 you only need to go VCS-> Import into Version control -> Share Project on GitHub.

Pop up will appear asking for the repo name.

Now you can do it like so (you do not need to go to github or open new directory from git):

First time I have added a video link for solving your problem but I learned it was a bad idea. This time I'll explain it briefly.

Android studio is compatible with github but you need adjust something:

1. Setup Android Studio

2. Setup the Github plugins in the Android Studio settings

   • Android Studio settings >> Plugins page

3. Download the git version control system from this link and setup https://git-scm.com/

4. After the installation, open Android Studio settings page and select the git.exe
   • settings >> version control >> git
   • Usually the path to git.exe is program files >> git >> bin >> git.exe
5. Go to Settings >> Version control >> Github you will see login and password for your Github account. Apply the settings.
6. For updating the project, go in Android Studio top line click VCS >> enable version control integration >> git
7. One more time VCS >> import into version control >> share project on Github and enter your master password.

Now you can use VCS update buttons for updating your project to Github
