Early Access Program

PhpStorm 2023.2 EAP #2

In this build, you’ll find support for GitLab Merge Requests.

The EAP allows you to try new features from the upcoming PhpStorm version, 2023.2. EAP builds are free to use and you can install them side by side with a stable version of PhpStorm. If something doesn’t work correctly, you can quickly switch back to the previous version without interfering with your workflow.

GitLab Merge Requests support

PhpStorm 2023.2 EAP 2 introduces initial integration with GitLab, allowing you to work with Merge Requests right from the IDE.


Please see the release notes for the complete list of changes in the EAP #2 build.
