I have found it here but since I have older phpstorm there is a way to do it easier

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/47613209/how-to-set-up-bitbucket-in-phpstorm-2019

Step 1: Install Bitbucket Linky using this guide. Note Bitbucket Connector is no longer being developed.
Step 2: Set up a new private repository on Bitbucket. If you’re using WordPress, I’d recommend creating a repository for each plugin you are developing, rather than for the entire install. Leave it empty for now.
Step 3 Create a new project in PHPStorm or use an existing one. Click VCS>Create Git Repository. Select the path of your project.
Step 4 Now the repository is properly set up, I then added – using Finder – all of my files into the local repository folder.
Step 5 Select all of your project – which should be in red text – and click VCS>Git>Add. This will have added these files to the project, but not yet pushed them to the remote server.
Step 6 Now select the root directory of your project and click VCS>Git>Commit Directory.
Step 7 Go to VCS>Git>Remotes and add a new remote. You need to get this in Bitbucket by clicking ‘I will be starting from scratch’ and then copying the URL (https://youraccount@bitbucket.org/youraccount/yourrepo.git) and pasting it into PHPStorm.
Step 8 Click VCS>Git>Push. This actually moves the files to the server.
Hope that helps some one – took me ages to figure out. You’re now in the capable hands of many guides on how to use Git.

After step 6 I couldn’t find Remotes so I just clicked on project folder, right click, git->repository->push and then clicked on top remote and then added bitbucket link (https) and all the files were being pushed there.

That’s it.

For the reference because I tend to forget things sometimes.

// project's root folder    
echo base_path();

// 'app' folder    
echo app_path();        

// 'public' folder but inside app folder and not /home/admin/web/domain.com/public_html
echo public_path();

// 'storage' folder    
echo storage_path();

// 'storage/app' folder    
echo storage_path('app');

When you need to use storage use this:

ln -s /home/admin/domains/domain.com/app/storage/app/public/svetvesti_img /home/admin/domains/domain.com/public_html/svetvesti_img

ln -s is symbolic link source destination.

If you want to update symbolic link after, for example changing server (dedi or vps) then use this:

Creation -> ln -s {/path/to/file-name} {link-name}
Update -> ln -sfn {/path/to/file-name} {link-name}

Nice stuff, very helpfull.
