Open Source: GitHub Actions and Ready-Made Builds for JetBrains IntelliJ IDEA
JetBrains now provides CI/CD pipelines for the build process and ready-made builds for the open-source code of the IntelliJ development environment.
JetBrains, the provider of the IntelliJ development environment, is releasing GitHub Actions for the build process of development environments based on the source code of IntelliJ IDEA. Developers who program their development environments can automatically build them with the new CI/CD pipelines and no longer need to assemble their build environment or resolve dependencies.
The corresponding workflow can be found in the IntelliJ Community GitHub repository and can be activated as soon as users have created a fork. Local builds continue to work unchanged, JetBrains emphasizes in the announcement.

Ready-Made Builds as Releases
Meaningful changes can be returned to the community via pull request or as an issue fix. For those who do not want to make any changes to the code at all, there are now also ready-made builds as releases in the JetBrains repository.
The codebase of the IntelliJ platform is under the Apache-2 license and serves as the basis for the IDE of the same name itself as well as for many others, for example, Android Studio or the Adobe AEM Developer Tools.
