How do I get Intellij to treat any file without an extension as bash syntax?
I've tried several proposed solutions such as adding bash support module with no luck.

I have a bunch of markdown files in my github repo. As there are many members in the team, the syntax of markdown and code in markdown files are hard to be standardised.
What I want is:
Create a github action that modify those files automatically when there is a push.
I can't find a markdown prettifier that format the code as well. (e.g. putting spaces around '=')
The solutions that I can think out of are:
Use a CLI tool that can do all the stuff
Use a tool for markdown, use a script to filter all code in it and parse it to anther tool
Send http requests to those online prettifier if such CLI tools do not exist
Note: I have Java, Cpp, Swift and more in my markdown.
Any solution for this? I will be appreciated if the script could be provided (if needed).
Thanks.
If those markdown files are located in a java project, you may try spotless.
For example, if you have a maven project, with spotless, just run mvn spotless:apply, it could fix all the styles / formatting issues of your markdown files automatically.
I Just wanted to know really quickly why the IntelliJ File Watchers take command line programs rather than allowing me to use the Run Configurations?
I have my build chain nicely configured through the run configurations and I want to use the File Watchers to rerun certain parts of it when I modify certain source files.
Note that I could achieve this using Grunt which I already am using for this project, but I'd like to try using the file watchers.
Anyone know why this is so and how I can work around this?
Thanks
If I go to my PhpStorm\bin folder I can run the format.bat command to format files from the command line e.g.
phpstorm format -r C:\path\to\my\code -r -s c:\path\to\my\settings.xml
and that works great. However I cannot run the command if PhpStorm is open, I get an error:
Only one instance of PhpStorm can be run at a time
Not ideal to have to close my IDE or have to use a 3rd party code formatter. Is there any workaround? Without installing another copy of PhpStorm.
It's a known issue, please see: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-160462
The link from y.bedrov led me to here https://confluence.jetbrains.com/display/IDEADEV/Command-Line+Source+Code+Formatter with a potential solution.
Unfortunately I don't seem to be able to get it to work, I had to resort to copying my PhpStorm directory and using the copy instead. But I add it here in hopes that it helps others
Running Command-Line Formatter when the IDE is Running
On Linux/MacOS
Go to /bin directory where is a directory where Intellij IDEA or Intellij IDEA-based product is installed.
Copy idea.properties to some other file, for example, format.properties
Modify format.properties as follows:
Uncomment the lines:
# idea.config.path=${user.home}/.IntelliJIdea/config
# idea.system.path=${user.home}/.IntelliJIdea/system
Change them to point to some directories which differ from defaults, for example:
idea.config.path=${user.home}/.IntelliJIdea/format/config
idea.system.path=${user.home}/.IntelliJIdea/format/system
Modify format.sh by adding the line with IDEA_PROPERTIES variable:
\#!/bin/sh
\# ------------------------------------------------------
\# IntelliJ IDEA formatting script.
\# ------------------------------------------------------
IDE_BIN_HOME="${0%/*}"
export IDEA_PROPERTIES=$IDE_BIN_HOME/format.properties
exec "$IDE_BIN_HOME/idea.sh" format "$#"
Run format.sh without closing the IDE, it should give the following output:
IntelliJ IDEA ..., build ... Formatter
Usage: format [-h] [-r|-R] [-s|-settings settingsPath] path1 path2...
-h|-help Show a help message and exit.
-s|-settings A path to Intellij IDEA code style settings .xml file.
-r|-R Scan directories recursively.
-m|-mask A comma-separated list of file masks.
path.. A path to a file or a directory.
On Windows
You have to create a separate format.properties file as described above for Linux/MacOS.
Change format.bat file by adding a line with IDEA_PROPERTIES variable as follows:
#ECHO OFF
::----------------------------------------------------------------------
:: IntelliJ IDEA formatting script.
::----------------------------------------------------------------------
SET IDE_BIN_DIR=%~dp0
SET IDEA_PROPERTIES=%IDE_BIN_DIR%\format.properties
CALL "%IDE_BIN_DIR%\idea.bat" format %*
Run format.bat, it will list the command-line formatter options.
This guide works for me. But ensure use PHPSTORM_PROPERTIES instead of IDEA_PROPERTIES when export environment variable as described in the article:
export IDEA_PROPERTIES=$IDE_BIN_HOME/format.properties
And what's more, from version 2022.1, IntelliJ IDEA supports dry run which is very useful for format validation based pre-commit git hook.
I am attempting to install PDFBox on my system in order to create PDF files, but am unsure which jar files I need. If I go to https://pdfbox.apache.org/download.cgi
I see command line tools as follows:
pdfbox-app (9.1MB)
preflight-app (9.2MB)
debugger-app (9.0MB)
I also see "Libraries of each subproject" as follows:
pdfbox (2.6MB)
fontbox (1.6MB)
preflight (248KB)
xmpbox (132KB)
pdfbox-tools (77KB)
pdfbox-debugger (245KB)
What is meant by "each subproject"? Is it talking about the command line tools or something different?
I am planning to use java from the command line rather than in an IDE. Does this mean that I just need the Command line tools or do I need the "Libraries of each Subproject" as well? What does the "-app" indicated in the command line tools vs the related libraries?
Is there a page on apache.org that mentions the differences between all of these?
To create PDF files should I be using the preflight and debugger files as well or are those optional?
Summarizing the comments: you want to create a PDF from scratch and access your development over ssh so you can't use an IDE and have to use javac. For that you could use pdfbox-app jar file, but this would be huge. Instead, use the pdfbox, fontbox and commons-log jar files. See also here for additional dependencies if you want to do more advanced stuff (read / render (= convert to image) / decrypt / sign).
I am now compiling libxml2 on windows 8 using mingw32.
I have downloaded from here ftp://xmlsoft.org/libxml2/ and follow the instruction found in the README file. They instruct to configure make using a javascript called configure.js. We can run the script like this:
cscript configure.js compiler=msvc prefix=c:\opt include=c:\opt\include lib=c:\opt\lib debug=yes
I guess there is a super simple and maybe obvious to this question, but how do I set several lib and include folders ? I tried separating with ";" :
cscript configure.js compiler=mingw zlib=yes prefix=C:\cpp\libraries\libxml2 include=C:\cpp\libraries\iconv-1.9.2.win32\include;C:\cpp\libraries\zlib1.2.3\GnuWin32\include lib=C:\cpp\libraries\iconv-1.9.2.win32\lib;C:\cpp\libraries\zlib1.2.3\GnuWin32\lib
but that did not work out. Did not find anything about that in the readme file ...
finally things were not so difficult.
the javascript script create a file config.mingw that is easy to edit, in this case manually adding the paths separately with -I, in my case:
INCLUDE+= -IC:\cpp\libraries\iconv\GnuWin32\include -IC:\cpp\libraries\zlib1.2.3\GnuWin32\include
LIB+= -LC:\cpp\libraries\iconv\GnuWin32\lib -LC:\cpp\libraries\zlib1.2.3\GnuWin32\lib
