How to Banish .DS_store in Your Repo on macOS

Step 1 - (Skip to Step 2 if you don't have .DS_store currently in your repo)

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

Add this line: .DS_store to the file .gitignore, which can be found at the top level of your repository (or create the file if it isn't there already). You can do this easily with this command in the top directory:

Congratulations, if you followed these steps, .DS_store should not be an issue for you anymore!
