GitHub to JetBrains IDE is a Chrome extension that enhances the workflow between GitHub and JetBrains IDEs. This lightweight tool allows users to open GitHub repositories directly in their preferred JetBrains IDE with ease. It integrates seamlessly into the GitHub interface, making it a convenient option for developers who want a smoother transition from viewing code online to editing it locally. Users can select their IDE from the GitHub Code menu, and the extension remembers this choice for future use.

The extension ensures that if a project is already cloned on the user's computer, it will automatically open in the correct IDE via JetBrains Toolbox. It operates entirely within the browser environment, maintaining user privacy by not collecting or sharing personal information. All settings are locally stored, providing a secure and straightforward experience.
