Configuring Include Paths
Include paths are used for holding third-party code that is used for completion and reference resolution in some functions/methods that use file paths as arguments, for example, require() or include().
Note that the files added via include paths are not meant to be edited within the scope of you project. If you have the existing code that you need to access and modify from within several projects, consider adding it via an additional content root.
