How to debug a PyCharm plugin?

Hello everyone, 

I am developing a PyCharm plugin in the IntelliJ IDEA environment. Right now to debug the plugin we always have to prepare it and add to pycharm and then check it out. Is there a better way to do that? 

Also is there a way we can log in the PyCharm code, I saw that we can use openapi's logger, but how exactly to use it? Moreover where does the log get stored?
