gitignore DS_Store file in a better way

Step 1: Update your .gitignore file

Open the .gitignore file in the root directory of your repository. Add the following lines to make sure Git ignores .DS_Store files anywhere in your project structure:

1
2

.DS_Store
**/.DS_Store

Step 2: Remove already tracked .DS_Store files

If you previously committed .DS_Store files, Git will continue to track changes to them even after adding them to .gitignore. Run this command in your terminal to untrack and remove them from your Git repository without deleting them from your local repo.

1

find . -name .DS_Store -print0 | xargs -0 git rm --cached --ignore-unmatch

Commit and push the changes.
