Import Android Studio project from git into Android Studio (Gradle)

Question

I\'ve been reading this for hours now and everyone seems to have a different approach or that the tutorials are out of date.

Android Studio .gitignore only includes

Answer 1

The answer is obvious when looking at the .gitignore file of a newly created project. The build.gradle file is and should be included in the push to the remote repo.

So the person who made the repo in my question is doing it wrong. The .gitignore file includes:

.gradle
/local.properties
/.idea/workspace.xml
/.idea/libraries
.DS_Store
/build
/captures

As seen, more files should of been uploaded to the remote repo.
