This tool acts as a webserver to proxy specific JetBrains Plugin Repositories, eliminating IDE version constraints.

This allows you to install the latest versions of specific plugins, even if they are not officially compatible with your IDE version.

Usage

Run the server

Deno

deno run --allow-net --unstable-sloppy-imports --allow-read --allow-write https://unpkg.com/jbpr@latest/deno.mjs

Bun

bunx --bun jbpr@latest

Node.js

npm

npx jbpr@latest

pnpm

pnpx jbpr@latest

yarn

yarn dlx jbpr@latest

This will start a server at http://localhost:8686.

Configure your IDE

Next, you can add the repository URL of a plugin to your IDE. The repository URL is of format:

http://127.0.0.1:8686/plugins/:id

For example:

http://127.0.0.1:8686/plugins/7083

Now you are able to install the plugin of id 7083 (Erlang) in the IDE plugin marketplace.
