Add items to your project

Create a new directory

1. In the Project tool window (Alt+1), right-click the node in which you want to create a new directory and select New | Directory.

   Alternatively, select the node and click on the toolbar or press Alt+Insert. Then select Directory.

2. Name the new directory and press Enter.

   

Create a new empty file

1. In the Project tool window (Alt+1), right-click the node in which you want to create a new file and click New | File.

   Alternatively, select the node and click on the toolbar or press Alt+Insert. Then select File.

2. Name the new file and specify its extension, for example: File.js, and press Enter.

   If the extension you have specified is not associated with any of the file types recognized by GoLand, the Register New File Type Association dialog is displayed. In this dialog, you can associate the extension with one of the recognized file types.

Import files

You can import files to your project using any of the following ways:

• Drag the file from your system file manager to the necessary node in the Project tool window (Alt+1).

• Copy the file in the system file manager by pressing Ctrl+C and then paste in to the necessary node in the IDE Project tool window by pressing Ctrl+V.

• Manually move the file to the project folder in your system file manager.

Import folders

• To import a folder to your current project, drag the folder from your system file manager to the Project tool window (Alt+1).

Import an existing module

You can import a module to your project by adding the .iml file from another project:

1. In the main menu, go to File | New | Module from Existing Sources.

2. In the dialog that opens, specify the path the .iml file of the module that you want to import, and click Open.

   By doing so, you are attaching another module to the project without physically moving any files. If you don't need the modules to be located in one folder, the module import is finished, and you can start working with the project normally.
