I disabled a SonarLint rule in IntelliJ, and then decided that it was a mistake. I disabled the rule using the popup in the editor:

What is the easiest and safest way to re-enable the rule?

The file sonarlint.xml in ~/Library/Application Support/JetBrains/<product><version>/options/ (on Mac, similar for other platforms) holds the information about the disabled rules. I can probably edit it manually, but it would feel safer with a GUI tool to do it.

Is there a better way to re-enable the rule?

Easiest in my case, was to filter the settings by "Show Only Changed":
