disable DS_store creation

It was possible to disable them. Whether it still works in Catalina I can't say.

Run this command in the Terminal to disable, then restart your Mac.

defaults write com.apple.desktopservices DSDontWriteNetworkStores true

To re-enable…

defaults write com.apple.desktopservices DSDontWriteNetworkStores false

restart

Put it in your .gitignore file

In Windows environment It's annoying to see these files, I had problems with applications as Github.

macOS provides the dot_clean command for that purpose.

Yes they're important as they store all the settings for that folder. But they're invisible and tiny, so why worry about them?

The dot_clean command only deals with dot underbar (._) hidden files and not .DS_Store files.
