Working with project settings in the AWS Cloud9 IDE

Project settings, which apply only to the current AWS Cloud9 development environment, include the following kinds of settings:

  • Code editor settings, such as whether to use soft tabs and new file line ending

  • File types to ignore

  • The types of hints and warnings to display or suppress

  • Code and formatting settings for programming languages such as JavaScript, PHP, Python, and Go

  • The types of configurations to use when running and building code

Although project settings apply to only a single environment, you can apply the project settings for one environment to any other environment.

View or change project settings

  1. On the menu bar, choose AWS Cloud9, Preferences.

  2. To view the project settings for the current environment, on the Preferences tab, in the side navigation pane, choose Project Settings.

  3. To change the current project settings for the environment, change the settings that you want in the Project Settings pane.

For more information about how you can make changes in your project settings, see Customize your project settings.
