How to Synchronise Projects to Github with Android Studio

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.
