How to Push an Android Studio Project to GitHub

In this tutorial I'm going to show you how to share an Android Studio project on Github so that you can collaborate with other teammates on the same project and have some version control.

In this video I’m using Android Studio version 1.0.2

The first thing I'm going to do is click VCS (version control system) and then select import into version control.

Then I will choose “share project on Github” and here it comes up with the login for Github.

Type username or email address and password and choose save password for convenience.

Now click login and it's asking for a master password for the password database. This is for Android Studio to store my password locally in a secure way. (You won't receive this message if you already pushed to Github or you've stored some other credential in Android studio.)

Click encrypt to keep it safe.

Now it will ask to enter a new repository name. Enter whatever name you want, or however you want it to appear on Github. I'm going to type a description of my first Github project and click share.

Next we’re presented with the add files for initial commit screen. This is asking which files would I like to check in to my initial git commit which I can then push to Github.

Usually you would choose all the files, though there is an exception if you have some kind of local config file, password file, or keys that's stored there -- might not want to check those in.

Since this is a plain hello world project I'm going to make sure all the files are checked and leave the message as the default which is “initial commit” i.e. this is the first commit I'm making to the repository. Click ok.

Now this is going to push my project to Github. You can see it has “successfully shared project on Github”.

Go to Github and now you can see that the project is there and it has been successfully pushed.

So that is how to push an Android studio project to Github.

Android Studio Project says project is already on GitHub despite the fact I deleted repository. stack overflow didn't help either

[CodySmiley]

Can't start Git: /usr/bin/git
Probably the path to Git executable is not valid.
