In this exercise, you are going to open the MyShuttle2 repo from your VSTS account in your VM for editing in IntelliJ. This exercise assumes you have completed Exercise 1, have created a Team Project that uses Git for version control, and imported the MyShuttle2 GitHub repo into your team project. This exercise uses a team project named jdev-labs, though your team project name may differ.
