When we reinstall the pycharm software on a new computer, it is very troublesome to reconfigure the code editor and plug-ins. Plugins can be used to solve this problem.
But beware! Before 2022.2, the IDE Settings Sync plug-in can be searched in the plug-in market, and if the version number of pycharm is 2022.3 and later, then the plug-in market can be searched for Settings Sync. Pycharm has officially stopped supporting the old IDE Settings Sync, and the two plugins are incompatible with each other. That is, the same plug-in must be used in order to synchronize the configuration smoothly! See the official description for details. Share your IDE settings | PyCharm Documentation (jetbrains.com)
1. Ensure that the version number of pycharm is the same
First of all, we need to update the pycharm on the two computers to make the version number the same, of course you can also install the old version of pycharm.
Click help-check for updates to update. The more troublesome thing is that pycharm cannot be updated to the latest version at one time, but can only be updated to the next version, so if your version is older, you may need to update it many times.
Two, install the plug-in
In settings-plugins, marketplace, search for the settings sync plugin and install it directly.
2. Upload the configuration to the cloud
Find settings-tools-settings sync in pycharm, and then click push settings to account to save the configuration to the cloud.
3. Pull configuration information from the cloud
On another computer, after installing the settings sync plug-in, select get settings from account.
The configuration will be automatically pulled from the cloud to the local.
Four. Summary
When synchronizing configurations, be aware that settings sync and ide settings sync are two different plugins. The configuration of pycharm can only be synchronized between the same plug-ins.
