How to Push to GitHub in Android Studio

When it comes to sharing your code with fellow developers, creating a Git repository is an essential step. In this article, we will explore how to create and push your Android Studio project to GitHub.

Before we dive into the process, let's first create a new project in Android Studio. Once you have created your project, log in to your account on GitHub or Bitbucket (we'll get to that later). Select the Repositories menu and create your new repository.

To upload your project to GitHub, follow these steps:

First, click on the 'Build in version control' option from the right-click context menu of your project name. This will open a pop-up window where you can select the 'Commit XML' option to add your files to Git.

Next, create a new Bitbucket account and sign in with your Google account and password. You can also choose GitHub as an alternative, but keep in mind that it does not offer free private repositories for small teams like Bitbucket does.

Once you have created your repository, find the tiny bits of information scattered around the web to configure your project locally. However, this process is often overlooked by developers who prefer to configure their projects manually.

My goal is to provide a simple and straightforward guide on how to create a Git repository for an Android Studio project that can be easily checked out from the server and made fully functional. This article has been migrated from an older blog post dating back to 2016, but the process remains relevant today.

By following these steps, you will be able to share your code with fellow developers even if your project is not intended for open-source distribution. With this guide, you can easily push your Android Studio project to GitHub and collaborate with others on your next development project.
