For aspiring PHP developers and computer science students, gaining access to professional-grade tools without breaking the bank is essential. To support the developer ecosystem, JetBrains partners directly with GitHub to offer the GitHub Student Developer Pack. This exclusive partnership provides a completely free JetBrains Student Pack license, which includes full access to PhpStorm. 🔑 How the GitHub Student Pack License Works
- Using PhpStorm on GitHub projects: You can open, edit, and run code hosted on GitHub within PhpStorm regardless of the project’s license—your right to use the code depends on the project’s license, not the IDE. For open-source projects, the license dictates what you can do with the code (fork, modify, redistribute). For proprietary projects hosted on private repositories, access is governed by repository permissions and any contractual agreements.
- Contributing via PhpStorm: When contributing to GitHub projects, your contributions are governed by the target project’s contribution terms and license. Projects may require a CLA or contributor license that assigns certain rights to maintainers.
- Bundled or shipped dependencies: A project might include third-party libraries with their own licenses; the project’s maintainers must ensure compatibility and disclose licensing as required. PhpStorm helps manage dependencies (Composer), but legal compliance is the developer’s / organization’s responsibility.
- IDE license vs. code license: The commercial license for PhpStorm controls your right to use the IDE and receive updates/support from JetBrains; it does not change the license of the code you edit. Conversely, open-source licenses on code do not let you use PhpStorm without obtaining the IDE license.
