How to put IntelliJ/Pycharm settings under version control?

Question

I\'m a frequent user of PyCharm and a number of the other JetBrains IDEs. I try to keep my settings synchronized across the different IDEs, but I\'m now considering moving to In

Answer 1

PyCharm (at least the Linux 4.X and 5.0 Pro versions) places its config files in a .idea dir under the project dir:

$ find .idea/
.idea/
.idea/libraries
.idea/libraries/Google_App_Engine_SDK.xml
.idea/libraries/Generated_files.xml
.idea/apartsw.iml
.idea/misc.xml
.idea/modules.xml
.idea/runConfigurations
.idea/runConfigurations/apartsw.xml
.idea/encodings.xml
.idea/vcs.xml
.idea/inspectionProfiles
.idea/inspectionProfiles/MyProject.xml
.idea/inspectionProfiles/profiles_settings.xml
.idea/watcherTasks.xml
.idea/webResources.xml
.idea/workspace.xml
.idea/scopes
.idea/scopes/scope_settings.xml
.idea/dictionaries
.idea/dictionaries/username.xml

I added the entire dir with the exception of .idea/workspace.xml into the project's git repo, following JetBrains' PyCharm-specific and/or generic .idea-based Tools recommendations.
