Codacy IntelliJ IDEA Extension

The Codacy extension for IntelliJ IDEs helps you review and manage the issues found by Codacy directly within IntelliJ IDEs. It notifies you whether a pull request is up to standards by highlighting problematic code patterns and displaying code quality metrics.

Codacy is an automated code review tool that helps your team write high-quality code by analyzing over 40 programming languages, such as PHP, JavaScript, Python, Java, and Ruby. Codacy lets you define and enforce your own quality rules, code patterns, and quality settings to prevent issues in your codebase.
