Radicle Jetbrains IDE Plugin - Iteration 2

Hello again everyone!

Happy to :loudspeaker: announce :loudspeaker: that version 0.2.x of the Radicle Jetbrains Plugin is already up on the Jetbrains Marketplace! :rocket:

Features

v0.2.x comes with the following features:

  • It’s now possible to publish Git repos to Radicle, directly from your IDE !!
  • You can now view/manage Radicle Identities in the plugin settings and choose your active Identity
  • Chances are you will have some frequently-used seed nodes… You can now configure these in the plugin settings
  • Browse through Radicle projects and clone them:
    • from the new “Radicle” section in the existing Git clone dialog
    • Copy the rad:// URL from the Radicle Web Client and paste it in the IDE

Video

We’ve also put together a quick video recording, highlighting the new v0.2.x features: Radicle Jetbrains IDE Plugin

Installation Instructions

We have dropped the alpha release channel, so it is now possible to install the Radicle plugin directly from the Jetbrains marketplace, in your IDE:

  • Settings/Preferences > Plugins > Marketplace > Search for “Radicle” > Install Plugin

Feedback

If you use one of the Jetbrains IDEs, we’d really appreciate your feedback after trying out this version! Please feel free to create an issue for any problems you find!

Conclusion & Next Steps

Now that the plugin makes it possible for new users to explore Radicle and clone repos, while also publishing existing repos to Radicle and pushing and pulling commits, it is time to start focusing on the decentralized collaboration aspects, shifting our focus for 0.3.x to Radicle Patches. We have began planning for this and will be submitting a new grant proposal shortly.
