We've just pushed Android Studio 2.1 Beta 2 to the beta channel; this fixes a critical bug in the git support in beta 1 released yesterday. If you're using the git support in the IDE, please update.

Installation

You can update your current 2.0 or 2.1 Preview installation to 2.1 Beta 2 via the built-in patch mechanism (Check for Updates). Make sure you switch to the Beta channel, if necessary.

You can also update from 1.5 to 2.1 Beta via the patch mechanism, but you may not want to do that: See our page about how to keep multiple installations simultaneously while Studio is in preview mode.

You can also download a full zip of 2.1 Beta from the Android Studio 2.1 Beta 2 page.

Problems?

If you run into problems, be sure to check the Known Issues page which we'll update as necessary.
