Correctly using tasks

I'm looking for some kind of documentation on how to correctly use the "tasks" feature. I have a number of questions around this:

* I keep accumulating tasks in the task list, even after I close them at GitHub.

* When integrating with git, I'm not certain what "create a changelist" means.

* When integrating with Perforce, will switching tasks (contexts?) manage shelving, similar to streams?

I'm also just looking for overall docs on what is in a "context" and how they're intended to be used.

Thanks,
-Rob

Hi, Rob,

here are the web help for tasks and context management in IntelliJ Platform:

As for the changelists in Git - they are just convinient way to split the schanges into groups: you can have several simultaneous changelists for different features of fixes and switch between them. You can also commit/shelf/revert these groups indipendently.
