Populating Projects

You populate your project by creating new elements of various types ( directories and files). PhpStorm suggests the following alternative ways of accessing the corresponding functionality:

• File | New in the main menu.
• The New context menu command.
• The keyboard shortcut Alt+Insert.

As a result, the New menu is shown in which you select the type of an element to be created.

In this section:

• Creating Directories
• Creating Files from Templates
• Creating Empty Files
• Creating PHP Classes, Interfaces, and Traits
