Everything is already setup and an explanation for all needed manual steps is on the bottom.

## Setup

PS: the docu is pretty shitty and google is not your

You have to ask in the Intellij Forum quite some times, but you 
will always get an answer.

       https://plugins.jetbrains.com/author/me

2. click on your profile
3. Upload plugin

       ./create-secrets.sh

       https://plugins.jetbrains.com/author/me

      |----------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------|
      | CERTIFICATE_CHAIN    | The file is called CERTIFICATE_CHAIN.crt in the secrets folder |

### How to make a release

If you have created your first manual release, you can for now create all released by hand

0. Dont forget to fill out `marketplace-changenotes.html`
1. Just create a new GitHub release
2. The git tag will be your version. 
3. Name it "1.0.0" or "0.1.2" or "10.0.123"
4. It will always be pushed to Stable (the marketplace)
5. If the upload worked you will receive an email
6. You will receive another email if the manual approval went through.
7. Profit!
