How to use single Resharper setting file by multiple users

Question

I am looking for a way to create a single Resharper setting file and share it with my team members, and if in the future I want to make a change in that file then that setting should automatically be applied to the rest of the team members.

Kind Regards

That's something we were facing in our team as well. Here's what we did:

• Repo CodeStyling
  • Contains Shared.DotSettings
• Repo App1
  • Solution App1.sln.DotSettings (which is under source control as well) has the following entry:
    <s:String x:Key="/Default/Environment/InjectedLayers/FileInjectedLayer/=15C315CEAAF9FC4EA4785B81F2986594/RelativePath/@EntryValue">..\CodeStyling\Shared.DotSettings</s:String>

So every repo references Shared.DotSettings. Of course the usage of relative file paths has some implications on the directory structure, but this is a price we're willing to pay.
Just be careful when adding this reference: when I introduced this pattern (maybe one year ago), Rider was putting absolute paths into App1.sln.DotSettings. I had to convert them manually to relative paths, which works like a charm.

In your case all of your 10 solutions would have to add this reference.
