Login and Connecting Broker
This guide explains how to log in to your Sidekick account on IntelliJ IDEA.
There are two different ways to log in:
- By clicking the red bar (Learn more about the bar color meanings) in the main Sidekick tool window. This bar shows your connection status.
- By clicking on the “Click to Connect” button.
Either way, clicking the button will open up your default browser to sign in.
If you don’t have a Sidekick account yet, you can click the “Sign up” button to create your account.
If you want to deploy your own broker and use Sidekick as on-premise to your address, please reach us by sending an email to support@runsidekick.com.

Note that the initial release only supports the ability to connect from one project source at a time. So, if you open the source code of multiple projects simultaneously, you can only connect from a single project and will be disconnected automatically from other ones.
