Exporting code style settings from IntelliJ IDEA version 14.1.5

Question

I'm using the updated version of the IntelliJ IDEA and am trying to export my code style settings so that they can be used by all developers working on a particular project. I read the tutorials at https://confluence.jetbrains.com/display/IntelliJIDEA/Code+Styles and http://forum.shakacode.com/t/sharing-your-intellij-rubymine-webstorm-codestyle-among-developers/240, which seems fairly simple.

Unfortunately that is not how my 'export settings' pane looks like, and I don't have a line that says 'code styles'. Mine looks like

The closest I can find is the line I highlighted which has CodeStyleSettingsManager in it along with a whole bunch of other stuff. However I tried using that and extracted the .jar file only to find that there was nothing much inside at all.

Does anyone know a way of exporting code styles that works with the latest version of IntelliJ?

Edit: My codeStyleSettings.xml file only contains the following:

<project version="4">
<component name="ProjectCodeStyleSettingsManager">
<option name="PER_PROJECT_SETTINGS">
<value/>
</option>
<option name="USE_PER_PROJECT_SETTINGS" value="true"/>
</component>
</project>

I don't understand, why you don't see Code Style in your list (it appears in my IDEA 14.1.5), but...

(...) export my code style settings so that they can be used by all developers working on a particular project

A better way to share the project code style across all developers is to include it in your VCS repository. Pulling such a commit will apply those code styles automatically. This is the file: project/.idea/codeStyleSettings.xml. If your VCS is set to ignore .idea/, add an exception for this file.

If you don't see this file at all, you're probably using a local formatter and your Project scheme is unchanged. In this case, go to Settings > Editor > Code Style > Scheme: Manage, select your formatter and click Copy to Project.

Update

Code style files only state the difference to the IDEA Default Code style (which is always the same). You can try this yourself: create a new project, go the the Code Style settings, select Project and change only one option. The codeStyleSettings.xml file will be created, and it will contain only this one option. If you could export your code style settings, the output would be exactly the same.
