Remove .idea Directory from Repository

thomasvincent opened this issue · 0 comments

Description

The .idea directory, which contains JetBrains IDE configuration files, is currently tracked in our repository. Since these configurations are specific to individual development environments and do not provide value to all users of the dotfiles, it is proposed to remove this directory from the repository.

Rationale

  • Environment Specific: .idea configurations are specific to individuals using JetBrains IDEs and may not be relevant or useful to all contributors.
  • Privacy Concerns: The directory can contain user-specific settings that should not be publicly shared.
  • Clutter Reduction: Removing it helps in decluttering the repository and focusing on universally applicable configurations.

Tasks

  • Delete the .idea directory from the repository.
  • Add .idea to the .gitignore file to prevent future tracking.
  • Commit these changes with a clear message.
  • Push the changes and verify that the directory no longer appears in the repository.

Acceptance Criteria

  • The .idea directory is completely removed from the repository.
  • The .gitignore file is updated to include the .idea directory.
  • The repository remains functional without the .idea directory.

Additional Notes

  • This change does not affect the functionality of any scripts or configurations directly related to the primary purpose of the dotfiles.
