Ignore .DS_Store file permanently when using Git

Posted by acidjunk on June 21, 2012

With a couple of little commands, you’ll be able to ignore the .DS_Store files forever from your git repositories on mac!

Create (or append) the .DS_Store to a .gitignore file in your homedir.

echo .DS_Store >> ~/.gitignore

The following command will add the .gitignore file to the git configuration

git config --global core.excludesfile ~/.gitignore
