Android Studio Best way import module from other repository

Question

I have to import a project from a Github repository as a module inside an Android Studio project that it committed into another repository.

The project I have to import from Github will be updated constantly so it means that I'll have to refresh every now and again for having the latest changes done on the module.

Since the new module as the base project will have independent development, which is the best way to import the module? should I check out the Github repository inside the Android Studio folder?

Thanks

I'd advice to use Jitpack

Jitpack: Easy to use package repository for GitHub, just include it inside your gradle, and now you can deal with github project as a module

Thanks Jitpack <3

For example: we have this repository: https://github.com/florent37/MaterialViewPager

and with Jitpack in your gradle:

repositories {
    maven {
        url "https://jitpack.io"
    }
}

---

dependencies {
        compile 'com.github.florent37:MaterialViewPager:1.0.5'
}

And you can use it with private repositories, but it require signup/login
