    If .DS_Store was never added to your git repository, simply add it to your .gitignore file.

    #### If you don't have one, create a file called
    ```
    .gitignore
    ```

    In your the root directory of your app and simply write
    ```
    **/.DS_Store
    ```

    In it. This will never allow the .DS_Store file to sneak in your git.


    #### if it's already there, write in your terminal:
    ```
    find . -name .DS_Store -print0 | xargs -0 git rm -f --ignore-unmatch
    ```
    then commit and push the changes to remove the .DS_Store from your remote repo:
    ```
    git commit -m "Remove .DS_Store from everywhere"
    git push origin master
    ```
    And now add .DS_Store to your .gitignore file, and then again commit and push with the 2 last pieces of code (git commit..., git push...)


    #### Other Solution



    If .DS_Store already committed:
    ```
    find . -name .DS_Store -print0 | xargs -0 git rm --ignore-unmatch

    To ignore them in all repository: (sometimes it named ._.DS_Store)

    ```
    echo ".DS_Store" >> ~/.gitignore_global
    echo "._.DS_Store" >> ~/.gitignore_global
    echo "**/.DS_Store" >> ~/.gitignore_global
    echo "**/._.DS_Store" >> ~/.gitignore_global
    git config --global core.excludesfile ~/.gitignore_global
