How to share Code Style settings between developers in IntelliJ

Question

I would like all developers on my team to use the same default code style settings. We all use IntelliJ 11+ as our IDE and we use git as our source control system.

To setup Git repository we should set URL via Settings Repository menu option.

The developer can load remote settings, overwrite remote settings or merge local settings with remote ones.

The structure of Git repository with settings:

I used personal access token for GitHub authentication.
