github - android + egit + github

0. overview

•  this article gives you some ideas how to integrate GitHub with Android development environment.

• I tried to make it simple as possible. I didn't use any of unnecessary tools like GitHub client, Git bash shell etc.

• EGit has a few bugs. (like pushing to remote error) I recommend you to do exactly same procedure as shown.

1. Android 

• install http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html 

With a single download, the ADT Bundle includes everything you need to begin developing apps:

Eclipse + ADT plugin

Android SDK Tools

Android Platform-tools

The latest Android platform

The latest Android system image for the emulato

• plus EGit! (eclipse git plugin)

2. GitHub

• Make a new repository on GitHub

https://help.github.com/articles/create-a-repo

3. EGit (Git eclipse plugin)

• create a local git repository (from Git Repository Exploring perspective)

• create new android project

• share (Team > Share Project > Git > )

workspace is changed !! you need to adjust java build path.

•  commit (Team > Commit)

 you can skip Add To Index.

•  create remote (with GitHub repo URL)

•  push to remote (Team > Remote > Push)

4. visit GitHub and check repository

• or see show in history (Team > Show In History)
