How do you synchronise projects to GitHub with And

Question

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?

Answer 1

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)

   

Answer 2

Open the project you want to push in Android Studio.

Click VCS -> Enable version Control Integration -> Git

There doesn't seem to be a way to add a remote through the GUI. So open Git Bash in the root of the project and do git remote add <remote_name> <remote_url>

Now when you do VCS -> Commit changes -> Commit & Push you should see your remote and everything should work through the GUI.

If you are getting the error: fatal: remote <remote_name> already exists that means you already added it. To see your remotes do git remote -v and git remote rm <remote_name> to remove.

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)

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

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.

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