Is there a way to use git to automatically update a library from Github into an Android Studio Project?

I know how to clone a GitHub project as a new Android Studio project, but I have not yet found a way of directly importing a GitHub library project as a library into my existing Android Studio project without either

1) using external version control software (such as standalone git) or

2) downloading the library as a zip and importing it manually (thus losing the ability to pull the latest updates without repeating this step)

Is there a way to import GitHub library projects (as for example the MPAndroidChart engine) into my Android Studio project with Android Studio managing the version control to stay up to date?

Usually I just go to gradleplease.appspot.com and look for a gradle dependency, but not all libraries are available.

You can get a GitHub library project into your build using JitPack.

For example, for MPAndroidChart it would be: https://jitpack.io/#PhilJay/MPAndroidChart

And, you can also find it in the usage section of the library on GitHub.

If you are using gradle you can use the maven repository, that has the MPandroidchart library. http://search.maven.org/#search|ga|1|mpandroidchart
