Disable code analysis for directory
Answered
Simply put, I have a directory in my project for which I would like to disable code analysis.
This mainly applies to when I am committing code. I do not wish to have code analysis ever performed on one of my project's subdirectories.
Is this possible?

You can mark the directory as excluded in its context menu: https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/content-roots.html#folder-categories
Ah. I was worried that this would also result in it being excluded from git. It seems my worries were for naught. Thank you!
When I run code analysis on my project it scans generated code (marked as such), code in excluded directories (e.g. build), my data folder (I don't want it excluded from my project, they contain files I edit, but it's not anything that needs analysis). I'm getting almost 4000 warning, and maybe 5 are for my code.
I just want a way to configure the code inspection/analysis to ignore certain files and folders. Not only would it speed up the analysis itself, it would also speed up me dealing with my issues instead of some phantom or unsolvable issues in unrelated files.

Hi Andre Artus
You can use scopes for that: https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/configuring-scopes-and-file-colors.html
Some of them are predefined, as you can see in the ‘Specify Inspection Scope’ dialog drop-down, but you can also create your own custom scopes to exclude a particular directory or a range of file types, etc.
Thanks, I'll try it out.
