First of all  create a Github account and project in Github  Go to the root folder and follow steps   The most important thing we forgot here is ignoring the file  Every time we run Gradle or build it creates new files that are changeable from build to build and pc to pc  We do not want all the files from Android Studio to be added to Git  Files like generated code  binary files  executables  should not be added to Git  version control   So please use  gitignore file while uploading projects to Github  It also reduces the size of the project uploaded to the server    Go to root folder  git init  Create  gitignore txt file in root folder  Place these content in the file   this step not required if the file is auto-generated     iml  gradle  local properties   idea workspace xml   idea libraries  idea  DS Store  build  captures  externalNativeBuild git add    git remote add origin https   github com username project git git commit - m  My First Commit  git push -u origin master   Note   As per suggestion from different developers  they always suggest to use git from the command line  It is up to you
