The method for setting up the comment template in IntelliJ IDEA is as follows:

  1. Open IntelliJ IDEA and go to the settings page by clicking on “File” -> “Settings” (Windows) or “IntelliJ IDEA” -> “Preferences” (Mac) in the menu bar.
  2. In the settings page, locate the “Editor” -> “File and Code Templates” option.
  3. Choose the “Includes” tab in the “File and Code Templates” tab.
  4. On the “Includes” tab, select the file types that need to be configured, such as Java file types.
  5. In the editing area on the right, you can find the comment template for this file type. You can either modify the template directly or click the “+” button to add a new comment template.
  6. Variables can be used in templates to represent different information, such as ${USER} for the current logged-in user, ${DATE} for the current date, ${TIME} for the current time, etc. These variables can be used in templates to generate comments.
  7. After making the changes, click the “Apply” button to save them.

Different file types may have different comment templates, so they can be configured accordingly as needed.
