If you have set the JetBrains Gateway as your default editor, then the Gateway will launch automatically when you open a codespace from {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom_the_website %}.

If the JetBrains Gateway is not your default editor, you can still open a codespace in JetBrains by going to the "Your codespaces" page at github.com/codespaces and clicking the ellipsis (...) to the right of the codespace you want to open. For more information, see "Opening an existing codespace."

Alternatively, you can also open the JetBrains Gateway and select an existing codespace, as described in the following procedure.

1. Open the JetBrains Gateway application.

2. Click Connect to {% data variables.product.prodname_codespaces %}.

   

3. In the "Your Codespaces" list, click the codespace you want to work in.

   

4. In the "Available IDEs" list, click the JetBrains IDE you want to use. The Gateway will remember your choice the next time you connect to a codespace.

   

5. Click Connect.

   Note: If you are running a firewall: the first time you connect to a remote resource, you may be prompted to allow the JetBrains Gateway to communicate across your network.
