Front End Web Development Techdegree Graduate 84,735 PointsIs this Google Java Style Guide for all my projects?
Since adding these Google Java Style Guide preferences in this workshop, I've discovered it's also applying these preferences to other projects. Is the intention here that I should be implementing this on all projects? What are people's opinions on this style guide?

When you're done you should have another entry in the Scheme dropdown at the top of the preferences/settings page for Editor > Code Style > Java. In the video, his IDE switches over automatically, but on my machine I had to choose the new scheme from the dropdown.

Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Graduate 37,838 PointsIt's very widely used. It's like Airbnb's style guide for JavaScript, the PSR2 for PHP, or PEP8 for Python.
I also use Checkstyle to lint my code against the Google Style Guide.
