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

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

enter image description here

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

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://[email protected]/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!

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 :)

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

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

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