PhpStorm copy deployment excluded paths to another project

We use PhpStorm's Deployment tool to sync changes in our projects.

Since we use frameworks for most projects, Excluded Paths settings for Deployment tool is quite repetitive. But despite the fact, excluded paths list is not copy/paste'able, which is a blasphemy for a typical programmer. It is very tedious to set each path one-by-one and manually.

You can consider the following screenshot to share my pain;

Thanks, I feel a bit better now.

To conclude: I've been looking for a way to make this process lazier.

Solution

  • PhpStorm creates .idea folder in each project folder (elsewhere if you set it to be so) to hold project settings.

    And excluded deployment paths can be found, copied and edited in .idea/deployment.xml's paths > serverdata > excludedPaths node.

    You can copy and inject it to some other project to quickly set all default excluded paths in no time, and use the saved time to brew yourself a nice cup of coffee.
