In rust rover IDE anyway to create a new project without .git? I know I can do this in cargo via command:

cargo new hello_cargo --vcs none

But when I create a new project in the UI on my mac btw, it always creates a .git folder in the project, this can be annoying say working through a rust book with multiple exercises, often having a root folder with .git then each many rust projects within.

Overall in Jetbrains Rustrover IDE is there anyway to create a new project via the UI without it creating a .git folder all the time?

you can just run rm -rf .git/ after create your project. I thank RustRover UI doesn't currently let you disable Git init, i thank this fastest workaround

Right now, it's not possible.

It's possible with IntelliJ, but you'll need the Ultimate version for Rust, which isn't free (alternatively, maybe it's possible to buy the Rust plugin for that platform).

There's a feature request for RustRover and CLion (duplicate); you could vote for it.

In the mean time, it's easy just to ignore it; it's not even shown in the project tool window.

Makes sense many thanks, I did'nt know if it was a feature I was missing deep in the settings or something.

Just a few remaining rough edges, I think. When it creates a new project, it also ignores the default IDE layout, so the user has to resize the windows, and so on.

I hope this gets fixed soon, but those bugs / feature requests can sometimes stay for a long time.

Yeah at the moment I am finding it the best IDE for large projects so its still alright for that, alternatively also using sublime text and visual studio code.
