clear github preferences?
Hello All,
I'm using WebStorm 3.0.2 and when I go to "Check out from Version Control" specifying github, I'm presented with the "Clone Repository" dialog. This dialog has a "Git Repository URL" pulldown populated with repositories. How do I clear out this list? It contains repositories that are no longer in my github account. I cannot seem to find where WebStorm is storing preferences like this.
Thanks!

Hello John,
Currently there is no way to do this from the UI. You can manually claer this list from the config file options/vcs.xml
Application config files are usually located under $HOME_DIR/.WebIde30/options/vcs.xml
There find
<option name="visitedUrls">
<list>
section and remove those sections "UrlAndUserName" that you don't need.
Be sure to exit Webstorm before changing the config file.
Thanks for your reply Kirill. I don't see a .WebIde30 directory in my $HOME nor anywhere else. There's a .idea/vcs.xml file in each project's directory but it doesn't contain the visitedUrls element. Is there someplace else I can look?
