How do you synchronise projects to GitHub with Android Studio?
(13 answers)
Closed 5 years ago.
I have a project in Android Studio. I want to add that project to a GitHub repository using android studio. How can I do that?
Sign up and create a GitHub account in www.github.com.
Download git from https://git-scm.com/downloads and install it in your system.
Open the project in android studio and go to File -> Settings -> Version Control -> Git.
Click on test button to test "path to Git executables". If successful message is shown everything is ok, else navigate to git.exe from where you installed git and test again.
Go to File -> Settings -> Version Control -> GitHub. Enter your email and password used to create GitHub account and click on OK button.
Then go to VCS -> Import into Version Control -> Share Project on GitHub. Enter Repository name, Description and click Share button.
In the next window check all files inorder to add files for initial commit and click OK.
Now the project will be uploaded to the GitHub repository and when uploading is finished we will get a message in android studio showing "Successfully shared project on GitHub". Click on the link provided in that message to go to GitHub repository.
You need to create the project on GitHub first. After that go to the project directory and run in terminal:
git init
git remote add origin https://github.com/xxx/yyy.git
git add .
git commit -m "first commit"
git push -u origin master
If you are using the latest version of Android studio, then you don't need to install additional software for Git other than GIT itself - https://git-scm.com/downloads
Steps
Create an account on Github - https://github.com/join
Install Git
Open your working project in Android studio
GoTo - File -> Settings -> Version Controll -> GitHub
Enter Login and Password which you have created just on Git Account and click on test
Once all credentials are true - it shows Success message Or Invalid Cred.
Now click on VCS in android studio menu bar
Select Import into Version Control -> Share Project on GitHub
The popup dialog that will occur contains all your files with check mark, do ok or commit all
At next time whenever you want to push your project just click on VCS - > Commit Changes -> Commit and Push.
That's it. You can find your project on your GitHub now.
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.

in the past, I did not download the telegram source with the git but now i need update my source and I need connect myProject (my Unofficial Telegram), to mainProject (Telegram) on github. my IDE is Android Studio. git in Android Studio is in VCS menu. but I do not know what to do, for conect my project to github project.
Make sure you have git installed on your system. If not, go to this link and download it
https://git-scm.com/download/win
Right click inside your local project folder and select 'Git Bash Here'
(If you want to clone your entire GitHub project into your local project, do it by typing:
git clone https://github.com/DrKLO/Telegram.git
If you already have the files and you just want to update it, skip this cloning step)
Check if your project folder has .git folder in it. (Check the hidden folders too) If there isn't one, type the following in your GitBash window
git init
Add the link to your GitHub (remote origin) by typing
git remote add origin https://github.com/DrKLO/Telegram.git
Update your files with the GitHub source by typing
git pull origin master
If you just want to know how to connect your project in Android Studio to GitHub, here's a simple tutorial:
https://www.londonappdeveloper.com/how-to-use-git-hub-with-android-studio/
(Skip the steps where he creates a new GitHub repository and an Android Studio project, since you already have both)
For detailed understanding on using git and github, i suggest you take this course:

Enabling the version control and connecting it to the user account in android studio creates new repository on github for each project and pushes the project to it by default. However, I would like to know if there is a way to setup Android Studio to upload the project to specific folder in already existing repository on github?
As mentioned in the comments, you have to move all your files to that specific folder and commit & push that folder.
You can not commit & push files into something, that is not the idea behind Git. It's mostely about Version Control
First install git-bash (i won't go through the installation) if not installed.
Clone the project on your pc.
git clone repo-url
Now create the required folder (and add files which you want in that folder) inside the repository you cloned on your pc.
git add .
git commit -m "Message"
git push origin master

I have recently use Android studio and I was just try to connect bitbucket with it.
I don't want manually bitbucket by terminal thas why I googling it. find some links link .
I have follow all the steps install plugin>shareproject>login>private>share project
and than error. I checked my bitbucket but no repositary created.
Can't publish part of repository
Invalid VCS root mapping The directory
ExpandableLayout-master\TestProject is
registered as a Git root, but no Git repositories
I don't know is thare error of plugins of bit bucket or my android studio
After to much research... finally i got answer
Actually it is bug of bit-bucket plugin. bit-bucket bug
Here is solution given by AKAMUZA in above link thanks bro.
(1)Go to project folder and delete .git folder
(2) IDEA pops up an error message about project not being under version control and an option to configure it. Press Configure and just delete the path to your project in VCS section.
(3)After this Import into version control -> Share project works like a charm.
UPDATE
I Found many developer having issue after use plugin directly from Android studio and if It not work you can download below plugin
https://bitbucket.org/dmitry_cherkas/jetbrains-bitbucket-connector/downloads/jetbrains-bitbucket-connector_IC-139.224.zip
Go to Setting-> Plugin-> Install plugin From disk ->above downloaded plugin -> install & resatart.
You can feel Magic after restart :P
I have the same problem with android studio.
this is my suggested solution:
go to project root folder
then open a terminal in this folder:
git init
git add --all
git commit -m "your message"
then go to bitbucket and create new repository then choose "I have an existing project" ...
Now you can use plugin to push/update
This thread mentions (assuming that File > Settings > Version Control is set to "git"):
You could instead have navigated into the directory via a terminal or shell and typed 'git init'. That would have converted that directory into a git repository.
So check if ExpandableLayout-master\TestProject has or has not yet a .git subfolder in it.
If not, it means you have declared that path as a git repo, but locally, on your disk, that folder is not yet a git repo. If so, you can initialize it, add a remote pointing to an empty bitbucket repo and push.
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?
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.
See these pages for details:
http://www.jetbrains.com/idea/webhelp/using-git-integration.html
http://gitref.org/remotes/
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.
Enable the GIT Integration plugin
File (main menu) >> Settings >> Search for GitHub Integration
Enable Version Control Integration for The Project
VCS (main menu) >> Enable Version Control Integration >> Select GIT
Add project file to Local repository
Right Click on project >> GIT >> Add
Commit Added Files
Open the Version Control windows (Next to terminal window) >> Click commit
button
In the prompt window select "commit and push"
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)
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.
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!
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)
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 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.
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:
Setup Android Studio
Setup the Github plugins in the Android Studio settings
Android Studio settings >> Plugins page
Download the git version control system from this link and setup
https://git-scm.com/
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
Go to Settings >> Version control >> Github you will see login and password for your Github account. Apply the settings.
For updating the project, go in Android Studio top line click
VCS >> enable version control integration >> git
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
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
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.
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
This is how I got mine working using Android Studio UI:
Delete .git folder from your project folder.
Delete .git folder from all your project subfolders.
Open project in Android Studio.
Settings, Version Control, remove all the roots
Go to VCS, Import into VC, Create git repository
Select the directory
Make sure your folder is the only root in Settings, Version Control
Go to VCS, Import into VC, Share project on Github
Mark as private if wanted.
Select all the files for initial commit, including app folder
Add files, select all in your project folder and app folder.
VCS > Commit -> to commit the files.
VCS > Git > Push -> to push the files.
