About the {% data variables.product.prodname_github_codespaces %} plugin

The JetBrains client application is launched when you connect to a codespace from the JetBrains Gateway application. It allows you to use {% data variables.product.prodname_github_codespaces %} with your favorite JetBrains IDE. For more information, see "AUTOTITLE."

Click {% data variables.product.prodname_github_codespaces %} at the bottom left of the JetBrains client's application window to open the {% data variables.product.prodname_github_codespaces %} tool window.
