remove Jetbrain Cache

I suggest below.git ignore template for your project. This will be safe and clean to contribute

target/
!.mvn/wrapper/maven-wrapper.jar
!/src/main//target/
!/src/test//target/

IntelliJ IDEA

.idea/modules.xml
.idea/jarRepositories.xml

Can you specify the reason?

[Pasanlaksitha]

Removing the .idea folder and adding it to .gitignore keeps the repository clean by avoiding IDE-specific settings from being shared. It prevents unnecessary merge conflicts, maintains cross-IDE compatibility, and ensures version control focuses on actual project files, not local environment configurations.

Ok, I'll check on that

[Pasanlaksitha]

By removing the .idea folder from the repository and adding it to .gitignore, you:

• Avoid sharing personal IDE settings** that aren't useful for others.
• Prevent merge conflicts** from constant updates to IDE files.
• Maintain flexibility** for teammates using different editors (VSCode, Sublime, etc.).
• Keep the repo size smaller** and focus only on project-relevant files.

It's a best practice to keep the repository clean and collaborative without forcing others to deal with irrelevant local configurations.
