How does phpStorm let me know if another developer has made changes in the GitHub repo. I looked at File Status and Refresh VCS Changes but the test my partner and I were attempting was unsuccessful.
@jgravois this might just be personal preference but I would rather use a specific tool then a "all-around" tool, as I've generally found that the "all-around" tools don't have the full functionality I need. This seems to be the case here. I would recommend binding iTerm to the ` key or something, that way you can still easily access git.
But on your problem have you tried running git pull? Is there some way to do that from the IDE?
