Activating PHPStorm with GitHub in 2019: A Step-by-Step Guide

In this article, we will explore the process of activating PHPStorm with GitHub in 2019. Before proceeding, note that this tutorial is applicable only to Git and Mercurial.

To get started, you need to associate a directory with a version control system. In PHPStorm, you can choose Always Add to synchronize project settings with other repository users who work on the same IntelliJ IDEA project.

To enable Version Control Integration in PHPStorm, follow these steps: First, navigate to the Enable Version Control Integration dialog by pressing Alt+` or by going to VCS > Enable Version Control Integration. In this dialog, select the version control system you want to associate with your project root.

Once VCS integration is enabled, PHPStorm will ask whether you want to share project settings files via VCS. This feature allows multiple users working on the same project to synchronize their settings and collaborate more effectively.

For those who need to work on separate projects with different version control systems, refer to the Associate a directory with a version control system tutorial for more information.

PHPStorm provides seamless integration with version control systems at two levels: at the IDE level, where VCS integration is provided through bundled plugins enabled by default; and at the project level, where you can associate project folders with one or several version control systems.

By following these steps, you can quickly enable PHPStorm's integration with GitHub and start collaborating with your team members more efficiently.
