Which IntelliJ config files should I save in my dotfiles?

I would like to keep my IntelliJ config files in my dotfiles repo but my ~/.IntelliJIdea2016.1 folder weights > 1.3G :(

~/.IntelliJIdea2016.1/config/ still weights > 215M...

~/.IntelliJIdea2016.1/config/plugins/ contains lots of binaries... not the best candidates for dotfiles :(

Anyone tried to save IntelliJ config without Export/Import settings menu option?

Solution

  • No need to store IntelliJ config file, just use IDE Settings Sync plugin.
