Intellij Idea 9, what folders to check into (or not check into) source control?
The question is general, although specifically I'm interested right now in PyCharm, not Java development.
There is no problem in deleting this. It's not only the WebStorm IDE creating this file, but also PhpStorm and all other of JetBrains' IDEs. It is safe to delete it but if your project is from GitLab or GitHub then you will see a warning.
Jetbrains has some official guidance on which files should not be checked in, and which files should probably not be checked in, depending on your usage. According to that page, you should check in all files in the . idea directory except: workspace.
Image created by Adobe Ideas, a vector image editing touch app for Android tablets; can include vector objects, layers, color themes, and other graphics; commonly used for quick hand editing before completing final edits with the desktop versions of Photoshop and Illustrator.
.idea folder is storing the settings for your IDE (Development Environment) - so the settings of Android Studio how to visualize your project.
No, because it's not guaranteed that other developers also use Intellij idea. Source control has to contain only necessary files to build project.
Yes, because all the developers that use IDEA should be using the same project files. If other developers use other IDEs, they should add their project files to Source Control also. After all, we "need" the project files to build the project, don't we?
