Connect my project to gitlab with android studio

Question

my friend have create a project on gitlab, when i signin gitlab i view project xxxxx/project if i click on it, i enter in project and i can select link ssh or httsp. For example link https://gitlab.com/xxxxx/myproject.git If i click link repository: https://gitlab.com/xxxxx/myproject/tree/master there are three directory: client/myprojecty, server/myserverproject, sketch/mysketchserver

Project android is in client/myprojecty, now i want connect my local project that is located into C://User/AndroiStudioProject/myproject with client/project and i want use android studio.

I don't want that client/myproject overwrite my local project C://User/AndroidStudio/myproject

How do i with android studio?

I have try when starup android studio: Check out project from Version Control then i click git Then open dialg Clone Repository where there is text field to fill:

Git Reposiroy Url: https://gitlab.com/xxxxx/myproject.git Parent Directory: C://User/AndroiStudioProject/myproject Directory Name: myproject

I have not clicked clone because i'm scared that this command overwrite my local project and delete all progress in my local project.

How i do only connect my local project with project on gitlab? Then how i update my progress?

Is the remote project the same as your project ? You want remote be updated with you or reverse ? — Amir Ziarati, Oct 12 '16 at 09:14
I want updated project on gitlab with my local project, my lates version is on my pc the old version is on gitlab — Fra87, Oct 12 '16 at 09:16
So there are changes in your local project that you want to overwrite to serverside ? — Amir Ziarati, Oct 12 '16 at 09:17
I want to make sure everything will be ok. No new changes on the remote side to be copied to local version ? — Amir Ziarati, Oct 12 '16 at 09:19
One another question have your local project ever been controlled by git ? — Amir Ziarati, Oct 12 '16 at 09:41

First of all make a copy of your project folder (do it always when doing these kind of things just in case)

Then open your project and go terminal tab in android studio and type

   git init

Now your local project is controlled by git. But how to connect it to your remote project is like below:

git remote add origin [the address of your remote repo]

Then just type:

git add .

And commit your changes like below:

git commit -m "first commit"

Then type this to push on server:

git push -u origin master

why i can't copy and past in to terminal? – Fra87 Oct 12 '16 at 10:16
You dont need to copy from terminal. Find the project file and just copy it and paste it in sone other path. – Amir Ziarati Oct 12 '16 at 10:30

Hey, I got this error after followed the above steps. Please help me solve this. remote: You are not allowed to push code to this project. fatal: unable to access 'GIT URL': The requested URL returned error: 403 – Parth Bhayani Oct 17 '20 at 12:14
Do I have to add any permissions to revoke this? – Parth Bhayani Oct 17 '20 at 12:16
@ParthBhayani this means you do not have push access to that repo. go to your git panel and add push permission to your account. – Amir Ziarati Nov 22 '20 at 14:32
