GitHub Actions Monitor

A JetBrains IDE plugin that monitors and acts on GitHub Actions for the project's repository without leaving the IDE. Works with IntelliJ IDEA, PyCharm, and other IntelliJ-Platform-based IDEs (build 243+ / 2024.3+).

• View workflow runs, jobs, and step summaries in a tool window
• Trigger and re-run workflows
• Pull-request awareness (linked workflow runs)
• Status-bar widget showing the latest run state
• Authenticate via a Personal Access Token or your IDE-configured GitHub account (Settings → Version Control → GitHub)
• Supports github.com and GitHub Enterprise Server

Compatibility

Field	Value
IDE platform	IntelliJ Platform 243 – 261.* (2024.3 – 2026.1)
IDE products	IntelliJ IDEA, PyCharm, GoLand, WebStorm, etc.
Java runtime	17 (bundled with the IDE)

Install from the JetBrains Marketplace

1. Open the IDE → Settings → Plugins → Marketplace tab.
2. Search for GitHub Actions Monitor.
3. Click Install and restart the IDE when prompted.

Install from a release ZIP

Use this if you want a specific version, want to install offline, or the plugin isn't yet listed on the Marketplace.

1. Download the .zip from the Releases page (or grab the plugin-distribution artifact from a Test workflow run).
2. In the IDE: Settings → Plugins → ⚙️ (gear icon) → Install Plugin from Disk…
3. Select the downloaded ZIP and restart the IDE when prompted.

Build and install from source

Requires JDK 17. The Gradle wrapper handles everything else.

git clone https://github.com/marcelotrevisani/gh_actions_pycharm.git
cd gh_actions_pycharm
./gradlew buildPlugin

The plugin ZIP is written to build/distributions/. Install it via Install Plugin from Disk… (see previous section).

To run the plugin in a sandboxed IDE for development:

./gradlew runIde

Configure

After installing and restarting, open Settings → Tools → GitHub Actions Monitor and pick one of:

• Use IDE-configured GitHub account — reuses an account you've already added under Settings → Version Control → GitHub. Recommended for github.com.
• Personal Access Token (PAT) — paste a token with repo and workflow scopes. For GitHub Enterprise Server, also set the API base URL (e.g. https://github.mycompany.com/api/v3).

The tool window appears on the right edge of the IDE under the GitHub Actions title; if you don't see it, enable it via View → Tool Windows → GitHub Actions.
