JetBrains (IntelliJ IDEA and family)
Blamely ships as a JetBrains plugin compatible with the same IDEs that use the JetBrains Plugin Marketplace (e.g. IntelliJ IDEA, WebStorm, PyCharm, Rider, and other builds that support third-party plugins — check the plugin page for the exact compatibility range).
Install from the IDE
- Open your JetBrains IDE.
- Open Settings (Windows/Linux) or Preferences (macOS): File → Settings / IntelliJ IDEA → Settings (wording varies by product).
- Go to Plugins.
- Select the Marketplace tab.
- Search for Blamely.
- Click Install, then Apply / OK.
- Restart IDE when prompted so the Blamely plugin and Tool Window register correctly.
Install from the website
You can open the plugin’s page on JetBrains Marketplace, search Blamely, and use Install to IDE if you are signed in with JetBrains Account and have the Toolbox or linked IDE.
