How do you synchronise projects to GitHub with Android Studio?


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.

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. 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.enter image description here

    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 goVCS-> Import into Version control -> Share Project on GitHub.

Pop up will appear asking for the repo name.
