Installation

Before you do this, make sure PhpStorm is not running, or it will overwrite the changed files before shutting down.

Your installation of PhpStorm has various directories and configuration files. By putting some configuration files from this repository into the right place, you'll be able to get new features, like live templates.

Find your config folder

For PhpStorm starting from 2016.1, replace 'YYYY.X' with the version number of PhpStorm.

OS	Location
Windows XP	`C:\Documents and Settings\<User name>\.PhpStormYYYY.X\config`
Windows Vista	`C:\Users\<User name>\.PhpStormYYYY.X\config`
Linux	`~/.PhpStormYYYY.X/config`
OS X	`~/Library/Preferences/PhpStormYYYY.X`

For PhpStorm before 2016.1, replace 'XX' with the version number of PhpStorm: WebIde80 for PhpStorm 8, WebIde90 for PhpStorm 9, etc.

OS	Location
Windows XP	`C:\Documents and Settings\<User name>\.WebIdeXX\config`
Windows Vista	`C:\Users\<User name>\.WebIdeXX\config`
Linux	`~/.WebIdeXX/config`
OS X	`~/Library/Preferences/WebIdeXX`

See Directories used by the IDE to store settings, caches, plugins and logs for more information about the configuration directory structure.

Download the files you want

Inside your config folder, you'll see a number of directories:

Directory	Contents
codestyles	Code Style settings (Editor > Code Style)
colors	Colors & Fonts settings (Editor > Colors & Fonts)
fileTemplates	File and Code Templates (Editor > File and Code Templates)
filetypes	File Types (Editor > File Types)
inspection	Inspection profiles (Editor > Inspections)
keymaps	Keyboard shortcuts (Appearance & Behavior > Keymap)
templates	Live templates (Editor > Live Templates)

Suppose you want the Symfony live templates from this repository - which are located at templates/knp_symfony.xml. Follow these steps:

Download that file - you can clone the whole repository, or just download that one file.
Move the file into the templates/ subdirectory of your config folder
Start PhpStorm (because of course, you closed it before trying all of this... didn't you???)

That's it! In the PhpStorm Settings, under "Editor > Live Templates", you should see the new "symfony" live templates.

Credits

First, a thanks to nicwortel for this https://github.com/nicwortel/phpstorm-ide-config repository, which contains some nice settings (including stuff that we don't have here). He also did a really nice job with his README, and I've borrowed parts of it shamelessly.

A number of people have contributed to this repository. Additionally, some templates were adapted from https://github.com/raulfraile/sublime-symfony2.
