Remove old and add new git in android studio

Question

I have tried to configure android studio with git and messed up.

How to completely remove old git that I could create new one?

Answer 1

In order to drop the current git repository and create a new one you need to:

• Go to the project's directory: cd PROJECT_DIRECTORY

• Remove all the git specific files: rm -rf $(find . -name ".git*")

• Initialize a new git repository: git init

This doesn't remove your project's files, only git configs

Answer 2

Just a simple way

Open the terminal in android studio.

git remote set-url origin <NEW GIT URL>

now the project url is changed from old link to new one. Then you can use >

git init

and upload your files. Happy coding :)

Answer 3

You can remove GIT from your Android Studio Project in File → Settings → Version Control → In VCS select and Apply.

Then you can add it back in VSC Menu → Enable Version Control Integration → Select GIT → OK button.

Answer 4

Delete the .git folder & .gitignore and start again.

Google for how to display hidden folders on windows to see the .git folder.

Answer 5

In Android Studio terminal in your project dir: Windows:

rd /s /q ".git"

Linux/Mac:

rm -rf .git

Answer 6

If you delete a git repository from github, you should also delete a folder name .git from your Android Studio root directory.

Then you have to close the project. And re-open it in Android Studio.

Then do these things: 1) VCS -> Enable Version Control Integration -> Git 2) In Project view in Android Studio, select the project root folder and right click on it. Then go to Git -> Add, after that Git -> Commit Directory, and then Git -> Repository -> Push .

Whenever you get prompts in this way, just click on appropriate options.

I find the top answer little bit too complicated, although fully functional. So here is maybe little bit easier to understand practice:

Assuming you already have project, and you want to change target (Bitbucket in my case) directory.

• Go to project directory: cd Your/project/location
• Find your current remote: git remote (its name will be probably origin )
• Delete it: git remote remove yourOldRemoteName
• Make sure you deleted the remote: git remote (should display nothing)
• Create new remote: git remote add yourNewRemoteName repositoryUrl

(If you are using Bitbucket, your url will be something like https://yourUsername@bitbucket.org/your-company/yourRepository.git and you will find it by clicking Clone button in source folder of your repository or when creating the repository.)

Hope this will be useful!

For me, the better solucion using Android Studio with Flutter projects was:

• Create a new project in Android Studio
• Close Android Studio
• Outside from Android Studio, with Finder (Mac) copy from my old (corrupted) project the entire lib folder and the pubspec.yaml file to the new one, overwriting.
• Enable Git in the new project from Android Studio again
