Stop PhpStorm from automatically staging deleted files to git

Question

If I delete a file in PhpStorm it is automatically staged in git. I would like to do the staging by hand (git add/rm) when ever I am ready.

How can I prevent PhpStorm from automatically stage files if I delete them in PhpStorm?

Like if I delete the files anywhere else it works correctly.

Answer 1

The option is under Settings > Version Control > Confirmation. You can configure the behavior for adding and deleting files independently.

• When Add/remove silently is selected, git add/rm is staged automatically.
• Do not add/remove is the option you are looking for.
• Select Show options before adding/removing from version control to decide each time whether PhpStorm should stage the change.
