Compiling

The text files in editor-themes/ and ide-themes/ actually specify what the themes are, but unfortunately, IntelliJ won't allow us to upload the IDE themes directly, so we need to compile them into .jar files. Surprisingly, IntelliJ's theme .jar files are actually just renamed .zip files, so we don't even need Java to compile the themes! All you need is the zip command. Simply run build.sh and it will compile every theme properly. You may want to update the themes though in case any new ones got added or updated since I last compiled them. For that, you'll need to use base16-builder-go - have a look at CONTRIBUTING.md for more information about building base16-jetbrains templates.

You could also create an IntelliJ project with it and compile it straight from IntelliJ. For that, follow Creating Custom UI Themes and Deploying a Plugin. An example is available at base16-jetbrains-ide-monokai (also available as a plugin from the marketplace).
