What is the ".phpintel" folder at the top of the Laravel file structure?

Question

I am just noticing that there is a .phpintel folder at the top of the Laravel file structure. Where did it come from, is it necessary and can I gitignore it?

Answer 1

phpintel is a common sublime plugin. PHP code scanner and analyzer for code intelligence within PHP projects.

It creates .phpintel directory like .idea for Phpstorm and it should be included to .gitignore list of project and contains local project related settings and history for it.

Answer 2

You can ignore any hidden (and generated) data

You will find phpintel ignored in many .gitignore project file, such as:

• postmark-php/.gitignore
• Zizaco/entrust/.gitignore
• ...
