Sourcegraph for JetBrains IDEs

The plugin works with all JetBrains IDEs including:

• IntelliJ IDEA Community Edition
• PhpStorm
• WebStorm
• PyCharm
• PyCharm Community Edition
• RubyMine
• AppCode
• CLion
• GoLand

Installation

• Select IntelliJ IDEA then Preferences (or use ⌘,)
• Click Plugins in the left-hand pane.
• Choose Browse repositories...
• Search for Sourcegraph -> Install
• Restart your IDE if needed, then select some code and choose Sourcegraph in the right-click context menu to see actions and keyboard shortcuts.

Configuring for use with a private Sourcegraph instance

The plugin is configurable globally by creating a .sourcegraph-jetbrains.properties (or sourcegraph-jetbrains.properties pre-v1.2.2) in your home directory. For example, modify the following URL to match your on-premises Sourcegraph instance URL:

url = https://sourcegraph.example.com
defaultBranch = example-branch
remoteUrlReplacements = git.example.com, git-web.example.com

You may also choose to configure it per repository using a .idea/sourcegraph.xml (or idea/sourcegraph.xml pre-v1.2.2) file in your repository like so:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project version="4">
    <component name="Config">
        <option name="url" value="https://sourcegraph.example.com" />
        <option name="defaultBranch" value="example-branch" />
        <option name="remoteUrlReplacements" value="git.example.com, git-web.example.com" />
    </component>
</project>

By default, the plugin will use the origin git remote to determine which repository on Sourcegraph corresponds to your local repository. If your origin remote doesn't match Sourcegraph, you may instead configure a sourcegraph Git remote which will take priority.

Uninstallation

• Select IntelliJ IDEA then Preferences (or use ⌘,)
• Click Plugins in the left-hand pane.
• Search for Sourcegraph -> Right click -> Uninstall (or uncheck to disable)

Development

• Start IntelliJ and choose Check out from Version Control -> Git -> https://github.com/sourcegraph/sourcegraph-jetbrains
• Develop as you would normally (hit Debug icon in top right of IntelliJ) or using gradlew commands:
  1. ./gradlew runIde to run an IDE instance with sourcegraph plugin installed. This will start the platform with the versions defined in gradle.properties. Note: 2021.3 is required for M1 Macs.
  2. ./gradlew buildPlugin to build plugin artifact (build/distributions/Sourcegraph.zip)

Publishing a new version

The publishing process is based on the actions outlined in the intellij-platform-plugin-template.

1. Update gradle.properties and set the version number for this release (e.g. 1.2.3).
2. Create a new release on GitHub.
3. Pick the new version number as the git tag (e.g. v1.2.3).
4. Copy/paste the [Unreleased] section of the CHANGELOG.md into the GitHub release text.
5. Once published, a GitHub action is triggered that will publish the release automatically and create a PR to update the changelog and version text. You may need to manually fix the content.
