I wanted to share this useful Blender addon that adds a restart button in the file menu.
The addon, and related info, can be downloaded here. Look at the .zip file in the august 2021 message.
I think this is useful for testing the modified files during an addon development instead of quit and restart Blender every time.
This addon and the symlinks to "bim", "core" end "tool" folders really speed up the work.
Maybe this is already obvious, but i didn't find this advice when i started so i wanted to share to help everybody.
Cheers,
Max

That's great! These "maybe it's obvious" tips are very useful for starters. If you work on VSCode there is also a great extension called Blender Development, that helps with that too.

@Massimo @bruno_perdigao awesome! I don't know much about these add-ons, but if you find them useful, perhaps it is worth adding to https://github.com/IfcOpenShell/IfcOpenShell/blob/v0.7.0/src/blenderbim/docs/blenderbim/installation.rst
Would you mind helping contribute a few sentences?

@Moult of course! I saw symlinks have been added recently in "installation.rst" so i'll write only about the reboot addon
