How to share config between developers?
Q: Can we check in (parts of) the .idea folder as in VS Code?

- All files under the .idea directory in the project root except the items that store user-specific settings:
- workspace.xml
- usage.statistics.xml
- shelf directory
- All the .iml module files (can be located in different module directories) -> applies to IntelliJ IDEA

SO says
Jetbrains official gitignore
https://github.com/github/gitignore/blob/main/Global/JetBrains.gitignore
But but I just want to set required plugins for the whole team

We need to specify “required plugins” ((Preferences | Build, Execution, Deployment | Required Plugins)).
