How to use phpstorm while downloading a project?

Question

IDE

Often you have to download a project from slow hosting, and work in parallel on other projects. But as soon as the download of the phpstorm project starts in phpstorm, it is simply blocked, it is impossible to open another project until the download ends or cancel it. How do you solve this problem?

Answer 1

open in advance. There are a lot of such delights associated with windows. Many windows for some reason block everything else. I'm terribly infuriated when it asks for a password, for example, to the database, and it's in the configuration file, right under this window, and nothing.

Answer 2

Use Git from the Command Line
