This is my .gitignore for my Android Studio
# built application files
*.apk
*.ap_
# files for the dex VM
*.dex
# Java class files
*.class
# generated files
bin/
gen/
build/
# Local configuration file (sdk path, etc)
local.properties
# Eclipse project files
.classpath
.project
# Android Studio
.idea/
.gradle
*.iml
.DS_Store
When I clean my project,it appears some files
How to modify .gitignore to ignore the files?
From your local path for git repo (which I am assuming here is ~/Documents/project_android)
add path to ignore.
#Cookie Files
Cookies3/*
and save
add
folderToRemove/
OR
*.FileFormat to remove
The build/ rule should already ignore those files.
.gitignore won't ignore objects already added to the index. Use git rm --cached <filename> to remove a file from the index but not from the working tree.

I code in MAC - OSX and my partner codes in PC - Windows but when I commit and push changes there are multiple files in project directories ending with .IML or .config or .properties, which gets overwritten and cause frequent overwrites which is a nuisance.
So my question is which files can be excluded from GIT for Android Studio Gradle Project to maintain the code in MAC as well as Windows? and what is the best way to do it ?
Here is a decent .gitignore file which you put in the root directory of your project, e.g. the folder where the .git folder is:
#built application files
*.apk
*.ap_
# files for the dex VM
*.dex
# Java class files
*.class
# generated files
bin/
gen/
# Local configuration file (sdk path, etc)
local.properties
# Windows thumbnail db
Thumbs.db
# OSX files
.DS_Store
# Eclipse project files
.classpath
.project
# Android Studio
*.iml
.idea/
#.idea/workspace.xml - remove # and delete .idea if it better suit your needs.
.gradle/
build/
app/build/
gradle/
#NDK
obj/
Then you execute the following commands to apply the .gitignore:
git rm -r --cached .
git add .
git commit -m "fixed untracked files"
See more here.
EDIT: I also recommend using the .gitignore plugin for Android Studio.
I have just sync my GitHub with Android Studio and I create a new project. I want to push it in my git repository. Last time when I did this with my previous android project, I saw that some foldres like .idea, gradle and other files out of the app folder are never updated again. They are staying like the first commit. So tell me - which folders I have to upload for full application without any missing recourse and others? Thanks again.
Typical gitignore file for an android project :
#built application files
*.apk
*.ap_
# files for the dex VM
*.dex
# Java class files
*.class
# generated files
bin/
gen/
# Local configuration file (sdk path, etc)
local.properties
# Windows thumbnail db
Thumbs.db
# OSX files
.DS_Store
# Eclipse project files
.classpath
.project
# Android Studio
.idea
#.idea/workspace.xml - remove # and delete .idea if it better suit your needs.
.gradle
build/
You can find sample .gitignore files in GitHub's gitignore repository. The one for Android is:
# Built application files
*.apk
*.ap_
# Files for the Dalvik VM
*.dex
# Java class files
*.class
# Generated files
bin/
gen/
# Gradle files
.gradle/
build/
# Local configuration file (sdk path, etc)
local.properties
# Proguard folder generated by Eclipse
proguard/
# Log Files
*.log
You can also add your IDE related files and directories to this .gitignore file. For example for Android Studio:
# Android Studio
*.iml
*.ipr
*.iws
.idea/
I have used Eclipse and SVN for a while. However, I'm still not clear which files/folders usually should be ignored while commit the whole project to repository. I know .project needs to be ignored. What about others? By the way this is an android project. However, answers to general project are also welcome.
Thanks.
We are using configuration as below to support different IDE:
# Eclipse related (and M2e)
.classpath
.project
.settings/
.metadata/
test-output/
# Maven related (and some plugins)
target/
*~
dist
*.ser
*.ec
# Intellij
*.ipr
*.iml
*.iws
.idea
.temp
# Other
.svn/
bin/
bak/
*.log
*.orig
*.versionsBackup
Basically following list of files added in .gitignore file for android projects.
# Built application files
*.apk
*.ap_
# Files for the Dalvik VM
*.dex
# Java class files
*.class
# Generated files
bin/
gen/
# Gradle files
.gradle/
build/
# Local configuration file (sdk path, etc)
local.properties
# Proguard folder generated by Eclipse
proguard/
Title pretty much says it all. Which files/types should I stop from being checked in? This is a four-person project.
Essentially, you want to ignore generated and IDE specific files. This is the .gitignore recommended by GitHub:
# built application files
*.apk
*.ap_
# files for the dex VM
*.dex
# Java class files
*.class
# generated files
bin/
gen/
# Local configuration file (sdk path, etc)
local.properties
# Eclipse project files
.classpath
.project
# Proguard folder generated by Eclipse
proguard/
# Intellij project files
*.iml
*.ipr
*.iws
.idea/
If you also keep your keystore in your project folder, you should consider adding that to the gitignore file. It is never wise to check in your keystore to a public (or even private) repository.
that`s mine
# built application files
*.apk
*.ap_
# files for the dex VM
*.dex
# Java class files
*.class
# generated files
bin/
gen/
.metadata/
# Local configuration file (sdk path, etc)
local.properties
Which files in an Android project should be committed to a version control repository? Which files should not be committed?
Right now my .gitignore file consists of the following lines:
# Android generated files #
###########################
android.keystore
local.properties
bin/
gen/
libs/
obj/
# OS generated files #
######################
.DS_Store*
ehthumbs.db
Icon?
Thumbs.db
# Eclipse generated files #
###########################
.settings/org.eclipse.jdt.core.prefs
Am I missing anything?
GitHub maintains an official list of recommended .gitignore files at this public repository.
For Android you can find it here
Or just copy/paste :
# Built application files
*.apk
*.aar
*.ap_
*.aab
# Files for the ART/Dalvik VM
*.dex
# Java class files
*.class
# Generated files
bin/
gen/
out/
# Uncomment the following line in case you need and you don't have the release build type files in your app
# release/
# Gradle files
.gradle/
build/
# Local configuration file (sdk path, etc)
local.properties
# Proguard folder generated by Eclipse
proguard/
# Log Files
*.log
# Android Studio Navigation editor temp files
.navigation/
# Android Studio captures folder

# IntelliJ
*.iml
.idea/workspace.xml

.idea/dictionaries
.idea/libraries
# Android Studio 3 in .gitignore file.
.idea/caches
.idea/modules.xml
# Comment next line if keeping position of elements in Navigation Editor is relevant for you
.idea/navEditor.xml
# Keystore files
# Uncomment the following lines if you do not want to check your keystore files in.
#*.jks
#*.keystore
# External native build folder generated in Android Studio 2.2 and later

The general rule of thumb is to not commit any file that can be re-generated, into the repository. Having said that, you may want to add your project.properties file to .gitignore as well (if it exists).
don't add bin folder and gen folder. They are not part of your sources they are generated. In future remember that you add only files necessary to build and run your project, and binary and generated files are not.
Yet if you're not using any tool like ivy or maven you may want your lib folder to present. Often when you use a library project, you also need to commit it
As of Android Studio 2.2.2 (and was probably added well before this version) when you create a new project, Google add a default .gitignore file to the project for you with the following contents:
*.iml
.gradle
/local.properties
/.idea/workspace.xml
/.idea/libraries
.DS_Store
/build
/captures
.externalNativeBuild
A little different from the above answers, as it also ignores the .idea folders, which tend to have a lot of files in them.
Using darcs, one adds the tracked files explicitly, rather than excluding them with an ignore file. After creating the new android project, I recorded my initial commit with all .java, .xml, .gradle, .properties, and .webp files added, except for local.properties.
This command did that:
( fd .*.java & fd .*.xml & fd .*.gradle & fd .*.properties & fd .*.webp; )
| cat
| rg -v ^local.properties
| xargs -I {} darcs add {}
