Where and how to report issues for SNAPSHOT builds from in intellij-community master branch?
I build a SNAPSHOT intellij-community master branch every morning and use it to compile and test my plugin to get a heads-up with any upcoming changes to the API or behaviour. I also have some mods/fixes in the source that have not or are not going to make it into official releases which make some development tasks easier.
I usually do not report any IDE issues I find in these builds because I assume they are early mods and will be corrected as part of the development process and because I do not know where to report these issues. YouTrack seems to be for official build releases.
However, in some cases these issues made it into EAP or even release builds. Is there a place to report these early developer mods to intellij-community?
If the right place is on YouTrack IDEA project, then is there any special way of tagging these issues as SNAPSHOT builds?

First, it's a good idea to build against nightlies :)
In generel, please do report these issues in IDEA YouTrack, just make sure to note build date (or hash) of your local build in issue description.
Though most smaller glitches/UI cosmetic issues will likely get addressed "automatically" before next EAP (or release), so they're probably not necessary to be reported.
Thanks Yann.
I usually do a Git Update project in the morning and build the IDE.
I would prefer to follow your suggestion of nighties which I would expect to be more stable.
How do I update local sources against a night build revision?
There's no public nightly builds, sorry - I just labeled your local builds from master like that.
For a second there you got my hopes up of grabbing more stable sources than current master.
I will wait till tomorrow before reporting anything. Current master flashes all popups and closes them. Without popups staying open most staple features of the IDE are gone or broken.
Yes, broken popups is known
Yann, I have not seen any updates to intellij-community since Oct 28. I know that there were major updates recently but I have never seen no updates for a whole week.
Is there a glitch on my system or there really are no code changes to the repo since Oct 28?
We're currently experiencing problems with the github repo synchronisation. I will announce in Slack when it's back, sorry for this.
Thanks Yann. I suspected this was not business as usual.
I can see the issue was solved. I the update resulted in:
Yes, sync is back now. Thanks for your patience.
