[GitHub](https://services.github.com/on-demand/intro-to-github/) is a web based version control which is an amazing tool used by developers to store multiple versions of their projects. There may be times when you may add a feature to your project but may want to keep that bit of code separate. On Github you can create seperate branches and store the necessary code.
|
|
|
|
The following are the steps to be followed in case the project has not been connected to GitHub from Android Studio:
|
|
|
|
### Windows
|
|
|
|
1. Sign up and create a GitHub account [here](https://www.github.com).
|
|
2. Download Git from [here](https://git-scm.com/downloads) and install it on your system. You will have to set up the environment variables so the Git commands can work from any file location.
|
|
3. Open the project in Android Studio and go to **File -> Settings -> Version Control -> Git**.
|
|
4. Click on the test button to check the "path to Git executables". If a success message is shown everything is OK. Otherwise, navigate to git.exe where you installed Git and test again.
|
|
5. Go to **File -> Settings -> Version Control -> GitHub**. Enter your email and password used to create your GitHub account and click the OK button.
|
|
6. Then go to **VCS -> Import into Version Control -> Share Project on GitHub**. Enter your repository name, a description of your project, and click the Share button.
|
|
7. In the next window check all the files you want to track for your initial commit and click OK.
|
|
8. Now the project will be uploaded to the GitHub repository. 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 your project's GitHub repository.
|
|
|
|
If your project is connected to GitHub and you would like to push a commit:
|
|
|
|
### Windows
|
|
|
|
1. In the toolbar select the **VCS-> Commit** and enter the commit message.
|
|
2. After entering the commit message select commit and push.
|
|
3. Finally select push.
