Thanks - it will be fixed with v2.1.1 quite soon.
It seems to be fixed with v2.1.0 - but it does not update automatically from 1.7.6 - rather it is required to uninstall 1.7.6, then download 2.1.0 as zip and install the new plugin from disk.
@jbauerrfid i'd try to uninstall and install downloaded 2.1.0 zip file and it doesn't working for me (Ubuntu 17.04 and WebStorm 2017.2.2).

Because of some critical bug I had to pull this update down. However JB Support still didn't remove this update entry from their registry.
I'm about to release v2.1.1 soon with proper fixes, so everything should be fine again.
Stay tuned.
Just click "Install plugin from disk..." and point to the idea-gitignore-2.1.0.zip - this worked for me.
Installing from a source code archive doesn't work. Can you release a IDEA Jar Plugin archive?
@hsz only sources has been released. No compile plugin is avail for the release, it only only avail for RC1..
v2.1.1 has been released
Perfect! It works fine with IDEA 2017.2.2 :) Thank you !!
