10/26/2019, 5:50 PMtry to ensure our project can be developed and built without oneIf you’re using Maven or Gradle you’ll still be able to build and develop the project outside Idea.

If some developer uses IJ, providing them with already configured code formatting settings is useful. Similarly launch configurations. Overall I don’t think it’s ever necessary to commit .idea files, it’s just convenient for people using IJ and doesn’t hurt those that use other IDEs
