Share your IDE settings

Last modified: 18 December 2024

PyCharm lets you backup your IDE settings or share them between different instances of PyCharm or between different JetBrains IDE products that you use. This helps you recreate a comfy working environment if you are working from different computers and avoid the annoyance of things looking or behaving differently from what you are used to.

Depending on the category it belongs to, a setting can be backed up and synced between your IDE instances by one of the following ways:

  • Via the Backup and Sync plugin: your data is stored under JetBrains Account, which makes the synced settings available in all IDEs where you log in with that account.

    The settings you can backup include: IDE themes, keymaps, color schemes, system settings, UI settings, menus and toolbar settings, project view settings, editor settings, code completion settings, parameter name hints, live templates, code styles, and the list of enabled and disabled plugins.

  • By exporting the settings you want to share as a ZIP archive and then importing them to a different IDE instance. You can export your code style settings, configured deployment servers, Git settings, including registered GitHub accounts, the Debugger settings, Registry keys, and more.
