我应该在我的dotfiles中保存哪些IntelliJ配置文件？

Question

我想将我的IntelliJ配置文件保留在我的dotfiles repo中，但我的~/.intellijideA2016.1文件夹重量>1.3g:(

~/.intellijidea2016.1/config/仍然重量>215米...

~/.intellijidea2016.1/config/plugins/包含大量二进制文件...不是dotfiles的最佳候选项：（

可悲的是，这并不简单。用户配置文件夹没有很好的文档记录，并且历史上包含了一堆默认垃圾，这些垃圾正在慢慢地被清除（请参见https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/idea-128660和https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/idea-163616)。设置文件的文档化也很差；我的改进请求被拒绝了https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/idea-154157)。

我版本控制我的设置。如果您请求访问，您可以在https://gitlab.com/jcrben-staples/dotfiles-group/dotfiles/tree/master/config/intellij-idea-latest/my_config_docs.md上看到它，并注意到https://gitlab.com/jcrben-staples/dotfiles-group/dotfiles/tree/master/config/intellij-idea-latest)。

默认情况下，我将.gitignore设置为忽略所有内容，然后将所需的文件设置为白名单。使用IntelliJ，我不知道从哪里开始，所以我将整个文件夹加入白名单，然后将一堆文件加入黑名单。

我的黑名单没有完全回答你的问题，包括什么文件，但它确实给你一个想法，什么要排除。我会尝试更新这个，如果我想要在某个时候包括哪些，但它是一个杂乱的插件文件和诸如此类的。

现在的黑名单如下所示：

这就留下了相当多的文件没有被列入黑名单--加上我有时对.idea文件进行符号链接，并对这些设置进行版本控制，尽管workspace.xml有很多东西，而且它一直在变化（请参阅https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/idea-163348)。

此外，请注意“共享”按钮，如下面的作用域所示，因为这些按钮似乎控制是否将设置共享到配置中。

最优雅的settings for settings配置来自VSCode--希望Jetbrains在某一时刻能够发现这一点并复制它们：
