Need help retrieving GitHub repo URL from Android Studio
I’m working on a project that I originally cloned from GitHub into Android Studio. Now I need to get the remote repository URL but I’m having trouble finding where this information is displayed in the IDE.
I’ve looked through various menus and panels but can’t seem to locate where Android Studio shows the GitHub URL for the current project. The URL doesn’t appear to be easily copyable from the interface I’m seeing.
Is there a specific location in Android Studio where I can view and copy the GitHub repository URL? Maybe through the VCS menu or project settings? I need this URL to share with my team members.
Any guidance on how to access this information would be really helpful. Thanks in advance for your assistance!
To find the GitHub repository URL in Android Studio, you can easily access it through the terminal. Just open the terminal and run the command git remote -v, which will display all remote repository URLs associated with your project. You can also navigate to File > Settings > Version Control > Git, where you’ll find the remotes listed. However, using the terminal is the quickest method; simply copy the URL you need from there.
Here’s another way to handle this across multiple projects.
Right-click your project root in the Project panel, then Git > Show Git Repository Log (View). Click any commit and you’ll see the repo details including the remote URL.
But if you’re doing this regularly for team stuff, just automate it. I built a Latenode workflow that pulls repo URLs from multiple projects and dumps them straight into our team Slack when we onboard new devs.
It watches our project folders, runs the git commands, formats everything with project names, and shoots it all over in one clean message. Went from 10 minutes of manual work per project to zero.
Latenode handles the git commands, formatting, and Slack push automatically. Way better than digging through IDE menus every time someone needs repo access.
here’s another quick trick: check the .git/config file directly. navigate to your project folder and open .git/config in any text editor - you’ll see the remote urls right there. sometimes it’s faster than opening menus or typing commands.
You can also check through the VCS menu. Just go to VCS > Git > Remotes and you’ll get a dialog showing all your remote repos with their URLs. Copy whatever you need from there. This method’s great when you’ve got multiple remotes - gives you everything at a glance. Plus you can add or modify remotes right from that same dialog. Perfect if you’re more of a GUI person than command line.
