Jetbrains Toolbox Application Launcher

Find and launch Jetbrains IDEs installed using the toolbox from the command line.

Searches default (Linux) Jetbrains Toolbox installation path for latest installation of a given Jetbrains IDE. e.g. 'jetbrains clion' or 'jetbrains idea'.

Minimally tested on my own installation, i.e.

• Arch Linux
• Toolbox version 1.0.2002
• Current and EAP releases of IDEA and CLion installed

I realise this could be easily and more portably implemented in bash, but life's too short :)

Installation

$ gem install jetbrains

lib/jetbrains.rb should also function as a standalone script, so you just copy it from the repo to somewhere in your path and chmod a+x it if e.g. you want to chuck this in your dotfiles repo or something rather than installing it as a gem.

Usage

$ jetbrains <app-name>

where the app-name is the prefix of the *.sh launcher included in the app's bin folder. These are idea.sh and clion.sh for the two I use. e.g.

$ jetbrains idea

or

$ jetbrains clion

Contributing

Bug reports and pull requests are welcome on GitHub at https://github.com/cormacc/jetbrains

Should be straightforward to add support for Windows and OSX. Also non-default toolbox paths. I have no need for either, but PRs welcome if you do.
