Github helpfully provides a guide for adding an existing code base into a repository which already exists, here. Whilst not specific to android studio, it will allow you to use whatever normal commit method you use.

In a nutshell:

• navigate to your code repository
• run the command git init
• add the files to commit with git add .
• commit the changes : git commit -m "your commit message"
• add the remote origin : git remote add origin your@git:repo/name
• verify the remote URL git remote -v
• push the changes git push origin master
