IDE essentials

CLion includes everything you expect from a modern IDE. Manage branches, resolve conflicts, and run Git operations without leaving the IDE. Connect to remote Linux machines or WSL with full code intelligence intact. Streamline your workflows with plugins from JetBrains Marketplace – or bring your own. With cross-platform support for Windows, macOS, and Linux, your setup travels with you wherever you work.

Version control

Keep your full Git workflow inside the IDE. Commit, branch, diff, and resolve conflicts without switching tools.

Git Worktrees

Work on multiple branches simultaneously. Run an AI agent in one worktree, handle a hotfix in another, and keep coding in your main branch – all at once.

Built-in Git UI

Commit, branch, diff, merge, and resolve conflicts without leaving CLion.

VCS support out of the box

CLion supports GitHub, GitLab, Perforce, and more.

Remote development

Develop on a remote Linux machine with the full CLion experience – code intelligence, debugger, and all IDE features intact. On Windows, WSL support lets you compile and debug with your Linux toolchain directly, no virtual machine required.

Full remote mode

Develop on a remote Linux machine while enjoying the same IDE experience as with local development – code intelligence, debugger, and everything else.

WSL support

Compile and debug with your Linux toolchain directly from Windows, no VM needed.

Plugin ecosystem

CLion includes several bundled plugins that extend its core functionality. Manage existing plugins, install new ones from JetBrains Marketplace, or set up a custom plugin repository.
