PyCharm 2017.1 Help

Startup Tasks

On this page, create a list of run/debug configurations to be launched automatically on the project start. This may be helpful if you run some Grunt or Gulp.js tasks or npm scripts on a regular basis. All you need is just add the run/debug configurations that launch such tasks or scripts to the list of startup tasks.

Run Configuration This read-only field shows the names of the run configurations to be launched on the project start.
Shared When this check box is selected, the corresponding task is available for other team members. Note that you can share only those run configurations that are already marked as shared in their definitions.

The shared run/debug configurations are kept in separate xml files under .idea\runConfigurations folder, while the local run/debug configurations are kept in the .idea\workspace.xml.
