Share project on Github

Github is a way to share code and handle different versions of the code. It is recommended that you create your own account, where you can create your own repositories and share code with collaborators. It is imperative that you keep your repositories private, only visible to you and your collaborators when working with assignments.

Information on Github

Use Github from Android Studio

If you already have started an Android project you can import it into Github.

In Android Studio, choose menu VCS/Import into version control/Share project on Github. In the new window, mark as private and select your own account.

The first time you share a project on Github, Android Studio will ask for your login and password – instead, select “Use token” and create an access token at Github as described below.

Create an access token at Github

Create a token at Github, Settings/Developer Settings/Personal Access Tokens and click on Generate new Token after selecting “repo” and “gist”.

Copy the generated token to Android Studio and create the repository and add the token in Android Studio to create the repository. You should now see your repository at Github and can invite your partner to share the project via Settings/Collaborators on the repository page.
