Great point, added! Thanks, @keyboardsurfer 🙌

I think adding !.idea/file.template.settings.xml would be a nice addition to make sure you don't get just the templates themselves, but also their settings (how the file name should be, whether to reformat according to the style, and whether to enable live templates). It would be nice if the settings lived in the same directory as the templates, though.

@tfcporciuncula good idea, have added that to the template. Thanks :)
