Remove .DS_Store files from a Git repo

I noticed while working on my new Kubernetes homelab that .DS_Store files were being committed to my Flux GitOps repo. Just documenting how I removed this and prevented future .DS_Store files from being committed.

Remove existing .DS_Store files from the repository:

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

Add .DS_Store to your .gitignore file

echo .DS_Store >> .gitignore

Then commit your changes and push

git add .gitignore
git commit -m "Removed .DS_Store files"
git push origin main
