If you have not done so already, please follow the Running the Plugin From Source guide first. This will walk you through setting up the basic development environment needed to run any branch of this repository from the source code.


Making Sure You're on the Correct Branch

We like to keep our master branch as stable as possible, so impending updates to the plugin will most likely be found in our development branch.

If you've just followed our guide on Running the Plugin From Source, your editor should by default be set to use the development branch.

You can check to see if you are on the correct branch in the bottom-right corner of your Intellij IDEA window. The Intellij IDEA editor has checked out the develop branch from the Github Repo.

It should be set to the develop branch.

If it is set to the master branch, simply click on master in the bottom-right corner of your window, click on develop, and then select Checkout and Rebase onto Current.
