# Clean Project Sidebar
Cleans up the JetBrains Project sidebar by hiding External Libraries and gray library root labels (e.g. next to node_modules).
## Features
- Hide the `External Libraries` node from the Project tool window.
- Hide gray library-root labels such as `library root` next to folders like `node_modules`.
- Toggle each cleanup independently from IDE settings.
## Settings
Open `Settings > Appearance & Behavior > Clean Project Sidebar`.
Both options are enabled by default:
- `Hide External Libraries`
- `Hide library root text`
## Install From Local Build
Build the plugin zip:
```bash
./gradlew buildPlugin
```
Then install `build/distributions/jetbrains-clean-project-sidebar-*.zip` from `Settings > Plugins > Install Plugin from Disk...`.
## Publish To JetBrains Marketplace
Create a permanent Marketplace token from your JetBrains Marketplace account, then publish with:
```bash
export JETBRAINS_MARKETPLACE_TOKEN=your-token
./gradlew publishPlugin
```
You can also set the token in a local, uncommitted Gradle property:
```properties
intellijPlatformPublishingToken=your-token
```
Before publishing, run:
```bash
./gradlew test buildPlugin verifyPlugin
```
## Development
```bash
./gradlew test
./gradlew buildPlugin
./gradlew runIde
```
