If you get the file watch change issues on Visual Studio Code or PhpStorm, e.g.:
Visual Studio Code is unable to watch for file changes in this large workspace" (error ENOSPC)
Basically you have thousands upon thousands of concurrent file changes happening. Now do this:
cat /proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_user_watches
That is a the limit that can be increased to its maximum by editing /etc/sysctl.conf as root and adding this line to the end of the file:
fs.inotify.max_user_watches=524288
The new value can then be loaded in by running:
sudo sysctl -p
