IntelliJ IDEA

idea

The leading Java and Kotlin IDE.

IntelliJ IDEA already syncs these files itself. Two writers on one file fight, and the tool wins — it holds the file open and rewrites it from its own copy. Leave these to IntelliJ IDEA, or turn its own sync off before handing them to anything else. Otty lists this tool like any other and leaves it switched off, and asks before you turn it on.

Sync rules

What travels, what stays, what never leaves

IntelliJ IDEA in your home directory Every rule on this page, by file

· plugins/ Exclude

· c.kdbx Never synced

· plugins/ Exclude

· c.kdbx Never synced

Only what the catalog names. A directory that syncs brings everything inside it except what is listed as excluded here.

# — the configuration directory is JetBrains/IntelliJIdea<version> inside the

# [appData] base directory: %APPDATA% on Windows,

# ~/Library/Application Support on macOS and the XDG config home on Linux.

# The version is part of

# the directory name, hence the glob; Community Edition installs the same tree

# under IdeaIC<version>. Caches (~/Library/Caches/JetBrains, ~/.cache/JetBrains,

# %LOCALAPPDATA%\JetBrains) and logs sit outside this tree and never come along.

# Same page: on Windows and macOS the plugins directory is `plugins` inside the

# configuration directory (on Linux it lives under ~/.local/share and is out of

# this tree already). Downloaded plugin jars are installs, not settings.

# — passwords go to the native keychain by default, but the "In KeePass" option

# stores them in c.kdbx inside this same configuration directory. Whenever it

# exists it is the credential store, and it sits inside a directory `paths`

# already covers, so a consumer has to let secret win over the directory.

self_sync = true

# No machine_lines: options/, keymaps/, colors/ and codestyles/ hold the

# preferences a developer wants on every machine, and picking machine-local

# keys out of the IDE's XML would be guesswork.

Opens Otty and adds this tool to what it syncs

Opens otty://sync/add/idea. Otty ships with this catalog, so the link only has to name the tool — nothing is downloaded.

Every one of these keeps all credential files out.
