What and why are .idea/ files being created in RubyMine

What is this? It's annoying. I don't want extraneous files to commit into my repos

Where did they come from? How do I stop it without having to do a gitignore file???

Hello,

those files are used for storing project settings, please refer to our documentation:

The documentation has broken links. It still is unclear what the files are and how to stop them from being created.

Your documentation has broken links and does not give a clear concise way to disable the .idea files being created. 

How are they disabled?

Could you please specify what exactly is broken? As for .idea files, at the moment there's no other way to store your project settings, please vote for the corresponding issue:
