How to use GitHub with Android Studio

Android Studio facilitates seamless integration with GitHub, enabling developers to contribute to Open Source projects easily without using the command-line interface. This tutorial outlines the process of contributing to an Android project by using Stream Chat's library as a practical example. It begins by selecting a project that the developer is familiar with and identifies a bug to fix, which in this case is a crash issue when clicking an image in the chat. Android Studio's UI allows cloning the repository, creating a new branch from the development branch, and making necessary changes to fix the issue, such as initializing Facebook's Fresco library. After making changes, the developer can commit and push these to a forked repository if they do not have write access to the original repository. The tutorial then guides on creating a pull request on GitHub, ensuring it targets the correct branch, and highlights the importance of following project-specific contribution guidelines. Finally, it emphasizes that once submitted, the pull request will be reviewed by the project's maintainers, who may request further changes.
