Summary
This work was split off from PR #3602
Properly tracking IntelliJ project settings in Git requires a fairly complex
.gitignorerecipe based on the JetBrains docs.However, this thread makes a reasonable case that
.ideaand*.imlcan be completely ignored in a typical Git repository, unless the developers specifically want to do work to support shared templates.Thus I agree with the @fwienber's approach from PR #3602. And furthermore, I think it's a helpful default for the
rush inittemplate.
