When I try to checkout another branch, I get this error:
error: Your local changes to the following files would be overwritten by checkout:
.idea/workspace.xml
Please, commit your changes or stash them before you can switch branches.
Aborting
I did some research and it seems some people avoided this problem by adding the afformentioned file to gitignore
.
Is this a wise thing to do? If git
is ignoring your workspace.xml
file, won't it mess up your experience in the IDE (in my case, Jetbrains Webstorm)?

Based on JetBrains you should not place the workspace.xml and tasks.xml in repo, as they contain user specific settings.
