Toolbox App 1.16 Is Out. Open Files from GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket in Your IDE with One Click

Posted on October 22, 2019 by Marina Kovaleva

TLDR; the JetBrains Toolbox extension now can open a line of code you have selected in your IDE in GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket. There are new progress bars in the Toolbox App UI, and several bug fixes too.

Open GitHub, GutLab, Bitbucket files in your JetBrains IDEs

At JetBrains, we believe that programming should not be just a job, but a pleasure, a hobby, and a creative outlet. That’s why with this release our team has rebuilt the JetBrains Toolbox extension from the ground up. Now you can easily open your Git repositories in your favorite IDE and navigate from GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket files, or selected lines of code to the JetBrains IDE that fits best. This nice new integration will save you valuable time.

GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket Integration

Download the Chrome and Firefox extensions, and you’ll see just how simple and useful they are. Previously, these extensions were only able to clone and open your Git repositories in your favorite tool. Now they allow you to also open the selected file in your IDE. And what’s more – available from 2019.3 EAP versions of all IDEs – you can navigate to the line of code you have selected from the Git repository service to your IDE with just one click!

Online Learning: How One Developer Went from Beginner to Pro

Posted on August 21, 2019 by Anna Morozova

People get into programming in different ways. Some begin learning it in school, some go to university to study Computer Science, while others get started with online courses – like Zina Smirnova, now a member of the Educational Products development team at JetBrains. We talked with Zina to find out more about her professional path.

Zina Smirnova

Can you tell us about your background and how you decided to become a developer?

It didn’t happen overnight, but like all worthy things in life, it took a lot of time and effort. It all began when I was on maternity leave as a junior researcher at the Institute of Precambrian Geology and Geochronology of the Russian Academy of Sciences.

Developer Ecosystem Survey 2019: Raw Data Available

Posted on August 13, 2019 by Anastasia Chumak

To monitor the rapidly changing State of the Developer Ecosystem, we, at JetBrains every year conduct a comprehensive survey to represent the developers in the world.

Earlier this year we presented the results of the research in our Developer Ecosystem Infographic. You can find plenty of interesting charts and facts we have carefully prepared for you in it. But imagine, how many hidden insights the data may still contain. The survey consisted of more than 300 questions in addition to the ones presented in the infographic.

The Raw Data is In

Now, as usual, we are publicly sharing the raw data of the survey responses. So you can dig deeper and find your own amazing facts. Via the link, you can find the survey questions and survey logic as well.

 Get Developer Ecosystem Survey Raw Data

To reduce possible bias, only the responses from advertisements and referrals were included in the Infographics (which is about 7,000 respondents), while this shared dataset includes all the 19,000+ responses collected from both internal and external channels.

Please keep in mind that your figures might be different from what we have in the report as we applied weighting to our data. For more information check the Methodology section.

The data are anonymized, with no personal information or geolocation details. Moreover, to prevent the identification of any individual respondents by their verbatim comments, all open-ended fields are omitted. We have also merged any answer options that collected fewer than 15 responses into the “Other” answer option. Via the link, you can find the survey questions and survey logic as well.

If you have any questions regarding the survey or data please contact us at surveys.jetbrains.com.
