Referring to the following: https://intellij-support.jetbrains.com/hc/en-us/articles/206544839-How-to-manage-projects-under-Version-Control-Systems There's two types of files here: * .iml files, which we don't need (we're a Maven-based project) * .idea/... files, which it does recommend sharing This removes all of them. Why? (a) It makes the project less IDE-independent, since we have IntelliJ files in the repo; (b) they cause annoyance when something changes for no good reason; (c) given the Maven configuration in pom.xml, it should autogenerate anyways. As such, remove them and add them to the gitignore. If this becomes a problem, we can just allow them back in.

Possible problems with this:
However, IntelliJ does seem able to regenerate everything, which is why I'm not too worried.
