after installing recommended .gitignore plugin PHPStorm not working anymore

Permanently deleted user

Created January 18, 2017 19:40

I opened the .gitignore file in one of my projects and PHPStorm recommended a gitignore-plugin. I clicked yes and restart after installation. Since then I cannot open PHPStorm anymore.

I looked in the plugin folder but I cannot remember the name and couldn't find any plugin which could be the one.

Can anyone give me a hint or helb me?

Thanks in advance.

Hi there,

As I understand plugin is called ".ignore"

If this plugin is what causing such issue --- just delete the plugin while IDE is closed.

On Windows (using PhpStorm 2016.3) it will be this folder: "C:\Users\USERNAME\.PhpStorm2016.3\config\plugins\idea-gitignore" (that's actually folder with plugin -- delete it)

For other OS/versions -- check this link: Directories used by the IDE to store settings, caches, plugins and logs
