JetBrains Rider Integration for Godot

This official JetBrains addon improves the development experience when using Rider with the Godot Editor, making setup seamless and ensuring optimal defaults out of the box.

Key Features

  Adds a "Use Rider" toggle to the Godot toolbar, enabling quick switching to Rider as your external editor.
