Should I add /idea/modules.xml to gitignore ? What is it written about?

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <project version="4"> <component name="ProjectModuleManager"> <modules> <module fileurl="file://$PROJECT_DIR$/app/app.iml" filepath="$PROJECT_DIR$/app/app.iml" /> <module fileurl="file://$PROJECT_DIR$/callre.iml" filepath="$PROJECT_DIR$/callreport.iml" /> </modules> </component> </project>

This is written, and why it is necessary to add the entire folder, how then the studio will understand it, or I don’t understand something

Update

I do a push at home and at work; in this file, these lines change each time:

  <module fileurl="file://$PROJECT_DIR$/app/app.iml" filepath="$PROJECT_DIR$/app/app.iml" /> <module fileurl="file://$PROJECT_DIR$/callre.iml" filepath="$PROJECT_DIR$/callreport.iml" />

    Well open and see what's there. In general, the entire idea folder should be added to the ignore list, it does not apply to the project itself. - Opalosolo
  • you can add files if there are no absolute paths in them, I think - Vladyslav Matviienko

If you do not have strict requirements for the development environment, then in version control, place only those files that are directly related to the application. And all IDE-dependent directories are ignored.
