Android Studio Copying Projects

Hi I wrote a project on Android Studio, now I just want to create a exact duplicate to it so I could try some experiments on the new copy without ruining the old version.How can I do that?

Someone told me just to copy the file in finder(I'm using mac). I did that, and managed to open the new version as project. But it is not working.I am sure I need to edit a few places as the file name has changed, but I don't know where are the places to edit, any idea?

Thanks !

To answer your question, you can simply locate project folder in finder, and copy it at different location with new folder name. Now open it in Android studio. This would create a replica of your project.

But better approach to achieve your requirement is GIT. You can refer following documentation for better git understanding.

Well it depends on your project. Is it a small one or a big one with huge memory?

If it's a small one and you have enough memory in your Mac, just copy the whole folder instead of a file and paste it somewhere else. Then you can do anything you want to in the new one.

If your project is huge and don't want to waste memory, I suggest you to use GitHub.
