Android Studio: How to push your code into GIT repo?

The target of this post is to describe detailed steps on how to push your code from Android Studio into GitHub.

Version of Android Studio: 0.3.6

1. Assuming that your code isn't under version control. So the first step is to add your source code to VCS (Version Control System) which is Git in my example. So you have to enable Version Control Integration in your project by pressing "VCS -> Enable Version Control Integration"



Enable VCS integration





2. Choose Git as your version control system as indicated here:

   

   choose Git as your version control system

3. Now all of your files will be turned into Red color which means that they are not added to VCS yet as explained here 

   

   Non-versioned Files

4. Add all your project files to version control system as follows:

5. Now all files should be turned into green color as explained here:

6. Files are ready to be committed to your local repository:

8. You should a notification green window message as indicated below:

9. You are almost ready to commit but you have to apply recommendations of IntelliJ and ignoring some unnecessary files by adding them to .gitignore file. I will add any iws file inside .gitignore

   

   Change gitignore file

10. Again add Commit message

11. Assuming that you have a valid Git repository on GitHub, In our example it is https://github.com/Wael-Showair/test
12. Download and install Source Tree application from the following website.

14. In Source Tree program: Repository -> Add Remote, you should see Repository Settings window

    

    open remote repository in Source Tree

15. Fill in your GitHub repository fields as follows:

18.
