PhpStorm hides the .idea folder in the project tool window by default. However, I'd like to show it in order to inspect the files and add/edit a .idea/.gitignore file to include and exclude specific files from version control. I have searched for project configuration options in order to unhide the .idea folder, but haven't found a way.
I could just use another editor to manage the files in the .idea folder, but I'd like to use the git-integration of PhpStorm to manage these files.
idea folder (hidden on OS X) in the solution root contains IntelliJ's project specific settings files. These include per-project details such as VCS mapping and run and debug configurations, as well as per-user details, such as currently open files, navigation history and currently selected configuration.
The . idea directory contains a set of configuration files (. xml) for your project. These configuration files contain information core to the project itself, such as names and locations of its component modules, compiler settings, etc. If you've defined a data source the file dataSources.
By default, IntelliJ IDEA stores user-specific files for each IDE instance (configuration, caches, plugins, logs, and so on) in the user's home directory.
For .idea
there is dedicated registry setting for it as well (it is enabled by default for me, in PhpStorm at very least)
