My biggest problem with the JetBrains IDE is that it scatters file turds through your project; making it a pain for developers to use source control without generating random conflicts. An IDE's files have no reason to be version controlled in every project (nor should a project require every developer to use the same IDE).
If they had a sane way to keep IDE files in a single top level project directory, I would be much happier.
- chojeen 12y agoI find that this typically isn't a problem when you instruct git to ignore those files. Brilliant way of describing the IDE metadata files, BTW. I got a nice chuckle from that.
- Walkman 12y agoI have no idea what you are talking about. PyCharm stores every setting in a directory called ".idea"
- ericcholis 12y agoI've certainly seen the IDE turd files you mentioned, but I'm pretty sure they all live in .idea. Github has a nice .gitignore build for these (and other common ignores): https://github.com/github/gitignore/blob/master/Global/JetBrains.gitignore https://github.com/github/gitignore/blob/master/Global/JetBr...
- infecto 12y agoAll of the IDE files are in fact in the .idea folder. gitignore .idea/ and you should have no trouble. What other type of files are you finding scattered in the project?
