The settings you can sync include: IDE themes, keymaps, color schemes, system settings, UI settings, menus and toolbar settings, project view settings, editor settings, code completion settings, parameter name hints, live templates, code styles, and the list of enabled and disabled plugins. Synced settings are linked to your JetBrains Account and are available in all IDEs where you log in using this account. Settings Sync: it utilizes the JetBrains server, so no additional configuration is required. You can share your IDE settings by using one of the following: This helps you recreate a comfy working environment if you are working from different computers and spare the annoyance of things looking or behaving differently from what you are used to, or enforce the same standards throughout your team.įor information on how to share settings related to specific projects, see Share project settings through VCS. It's not perfect but at least I'm in control of what I sync, it's cross ide and it's unlimited in terms of size.IntelliJ IDEA lets you share your IDE settings between different instances of the product, or among your team members. I've decided to turn this off completely and go for exporting settings every three months, put the zip file inside a Google Drive and call it a day. I can go on and on but this is far from a solution. Plugin vendors MUST explicitly implement the CloudConfigProvider to have a chance of making their settings sync. ![]() You can kiss it goodbye if you have a lot of color schemes. ![]() Meaning that if you want to use the same settings in Webstorm and Rubymine you're toast. And settings are not always applied automatically so you'll end up overriding the ones you have on the cloud. ![]() It works fine in general but has many, many, many shortcomings.įirst you can't decide when it's syncing, sometimes it's at the start, sometimes when you save them. Then there was the JBA plugin (forgot the name), which supposedly syncs your settings in the background using your JetBrains account. But it's not automatic, you need to pull and push manually and a lot of times you'll need to solve conflicts. Then I went back to using a simple git repository, which in all of them is the simplest solution, and works pretty well. A complete waste of time and resources, the f*cher even erased my settings many times. Plus it was before they started having different folders per version so now it wouldn't work. Worked fine but required to have Dropbox on each machine which was not always available. Is anyone aware of a (third party) solution to this? Some way to really centralize my settings between IDEs, as far as possible? Or is this just not possible at all?įirst I used Dropbox on the config folder to keep things in sync. Similarly, I have certain code styles for languages that overlap (such as SQL) that are difficult to keep synced, so if I ever have a snippet of SQL inside IDEA I have to first copy it to a scratch file in DataGrip to reformat it. I get that not all plugins and keybinds are going to be compatible with each platform, but surely there has to be a way to set up some overrides that apply to all, and a list of plugins it should always attempt to pull in?Ī short list is things like CodeGlance and RainbowBrackets that I always have installed, as well as setting my 'add selection for next occurrence' to cmd/cmd + D (rather than the default alt+shift+j or whatever it is nowadays). You also can't import IDEA settings to DataGrip (and vice versa). I've also tried exporting/importing settings and keeping them synced manually, but this doesn't work very well either. I've tried using Git to sync my settings, but even aside from the fact that it pushes a new commit each time I launch a tool, it doesn't really work well when adjusting settings on either side. Sadly, it seems nearly impossible to keep one consistent workflow or set of plugins between these. I also like testing out new features, so on my Mac Mini I tend to switch between the EAP and normal release every so often when I see a new feature announced that looks neat. I also have a Linux machine that I use for some very specific stuff that has just DataGrip. All three have Intellij IDEA Ultimate and DataGrip installed. I use a Mac Mini for personal stuff, alongside my Windows 11 gaming PC.
