PhpStorm Live Templates

Installation

First, find your configuration folder.

Windows: <your home directory>\.WebIde<version>\config
Linux: ~\.WebIde<version>\config
MacOS: ~/Library/Preferences/WebIde<version>

On my linux, it would be ~/.WebIde70/config so you have to adjust commands to your platform. There is a templates/ directory. It contains XML files with Live Templates.

Create a git repository in the templates/ dir and pull the templates

$ cd ~/.WebIde50/config/templates/
$ git init
$ git remote add origin git://github.com/fprochazka/phpstorm-livetemplates.git
$ git pull origin master

If this wouldn't work, you should just backup your templates, clone the repo and merge them manually.
