Renaming a project in IntelliJ IDEA
By default, when we create a project in IntelliJ IDEA (from blaze), it uses the folder name as the project name. So after a while, there would be multiple projects with similar project name: impl, impl-01, impl-02 etc. It would be difficult to figure out which project top open and what code it contains.
We can change the project name, which is the name that is shown in the recent projects list: go to Project Structure (Ctrl+Alt+Shift+S) → Project Settings / Project → Project name:
Remove projects from recent project list
We can remove projects from recent project list:
- when open IntelliJ IDEA, remove the projects from the welcome screen.
- or in File -> Open Recent -> Manage Projects
