title: PhpStorm - How can I avoid creating the .idea folder?
body: <p>I don't want PhpStorm to create an .idea folder. Is this possible?</p>
  
  <p>I'm working in a new environment where I pretty much MUST figure out a way to remove them or I have to change IDE, which I really don't want to do.</p>
  
  <p>Can't PhpStorm store the project files and settings in its own directory?</p>
