WebStorm 2018.1 Help

Creating a Project from Existing Local Sources

When the sources to work with are already on your machine, you can just open the folder where they are stored and arrange them in a WebStorm project:

  1. On the main menu, choose File | Open.
  2. In the dialog that opens, select the directory that contains the desired source code. Note that applications created externally are marked with the regular directory icon folder.png.
  3. Click OK and specify whether you want the new project to be opened in a separate window or close the current project and reuse the existing one.Refer to the section Opening Multiple Projects for details.
