PhpStorm 2018.1. EAP 181.3870.19

Posted on by

The new PhpStorm 2018.1 EAP build (181.3870.19) is now available! You can download it here or via JetBrains Toolbox App. Or, if you have the previous PhpStorm 2018.1 EAP build (181.3741.23) installed, you should soon get a notification in the IDE about a patch update.

This build delivers new features, bug fixes, and improvements for PHP and the Web, and includes the latest improvements in IntelliJ Platform.

Git partial commits

In this EAP, IntelliJ Platform has implemented long-awaited partial Git commits. The IDE can now commit only selected changes from the file and skips all other changes. You can include code chunks into a commit using the checkboxes in the Diff pane of the Commit Changes dialog.

Additionally, the IDE now provides the ability to associate the code chunks, not the whole file, with a changelist, and track them separately. Code chunks can be quickly moved between changelists using the Move to another changelist action which is available from the context menu of the Diff pane in the Commit Changes dialog.

Alternatively, you can add code chunks to a changelist right from the editor – click on a change marker in the gutter. In the pop-up which appears you can choose from the available changelists or create a new one.
