pycharm VCS entry from menu is missing
Answered
I am using pycharm community on two machines occasionally . One with Windows and one with Linux, and i am using pycharm rarely.
Some time ago, on Windows machine i installed Intellij IDEA to browse the source of a PHP project and upgraded pycharm to 2021.2. I dont remember the order.
Today i wanted to clone a project from a gitlab installtion and i realized that VCS entry dissapeared from menu toolbar.
In order to have pycharm with "factory defaults" i tried many things with no luck.
- Uninstalled pycharm and reinstall it again.
- Installed pycharm 2020.3.5
- Unistalled Intellij IDEA with no reinstallation.
- Deleted the Jetbrains folder from Program files.
- Delete the Jetbrains folder from %localappdata% and %appdata%
- Deleted the PycharmProjects from user.
None of them had the desired result. Propably somewhere else there are configuration data, that survive among different installations.
Is there any way to do a "factory reset" to pycharm?
Any idea would be appreciated.

You can reset to default settings from the PyCharm interface using File | Manage IDE Settings | Restore Default Settings...
Has it helped?
Setting this up in PyCharm was such a chore (hence why I prefer to do everything through the command line). For reasons unknown, the VSC menu does not appear by default, and the Version Control System is not included in the VSC “popup” menu. In the terminal window (via cmd or PyCharm) and initialize the project folder for version control.
Select the project folder. In the terminal window, cd to that same project folder and type in git init. This will initialize the project for version control (you will be able to tell because the files will change color). Once you complete this process, you can continue to commit and/or push your projects to the correct location. I will post this reply in other outlets because others are still experiencing this problem.
