My latest IntelliJ installation didn’t come with a command line idea command so I wrote a short script and put it to /usr/local/bin/idea on my local machine. This will only work on a mac. If you’re facing the lack of the command as well you need to find the path to your idea.sh and put

I’m using docker for a lot of projects and have to switch context very often – I know – that kind of sucks, but that’s how it is… Most containers can’t be shared between projects and I don’t want to spend more resources than necessary as my machines are on their limits. So I wrote
