This is a complete template to push your Plugins much faster to the store.
Everything is already setup and an explanation for all needed manual steps is on the bottom.
In Github just click the green "Use this template" button
Develop the plugin.
PS: the docu is pretty shitty and google is not your friend here if you want to do anything more complicated. You have to ask in the Intellij Forum quite some times, but you will always get an answer.
