When synchronizing settings with a remote repository:

File -> Settings Repository...

I found that my templates started to disappear:

 Settings -> Editor -> Live Templates

or not to be synchronized completely: on the remote - the old version, and locally - the new one.

What can influence this?

    1 answer 1

    1. In the names of groups of templates ( Template group... groups Template group... ) and the abbreviations themselves do not use specific characters; such as ampersand ( & ), plus ( + ), forward slash ( / ), parentheses ( () ) and others; since in this case they will be replaced with a lower underscore ( _ ) on the remote repository and conflicts will arise.

    The names of template groups work properly:

    • numbers ( 0-9 );
    • letters of the English alphabet ( a-zA-Z );
    • spaces;
    • hyphens ( - ).

    In the names of abbreviations:

    • numbers ( 0-9 );
    • letters of the English alphabet ( a-zA-Z );
    • hyphens ( - ).

    2. Try disabling autosync:

     Settings -> Tools -> Settings Repository... -> Auto Sync

    and sync settings on demand (manually):

     File -> Settings Repository -> Merge | Overwrite Local | Overwrite Remote

    However, for some reason, “through time” File Templates and Project Templates synchronized, I have not figured it out.

    The only 100% working method is to write a Bash script that commits the ~/.PhpStorm<version>/config folder to a remote repository, and then on the right machine using another script to delete the current PHPStorm configuration and slip a new one.
