.gitignore file and ignoring previously committed . #23

Closed mikenutt closed 3 years ago

regarding .DS_Store files like this: https://github.com/NCSU-Libraries/data-science-cookbook/blob/main/.DS_Store

I think these are created by GitHub Desktop for Mac OS. @csbailey5t Any thoughts about a .gitignore file?

And apparently we would need a rule to ignore a previously committed file? $ echo debug.log >> .gitignore $ git rm --cached debug.log rm 'debug.log' $ git commit -m "Start ignoring debug.log"

.DS_Store files are artifacts of MacOS often generated when opening a directory in Finder.
