ignore .DS_Store

[ADogan]

By selecting Ignore on a .DS_Store file, it gets added into Settings -> Ignored files(.gitignore) but isn't removed from changes.

I have exactly the same issue. It's really frustrating... No matter how I write in */.DS_Store or .DS_Store or *.DS_Store or anything, it just won't hide the DS_Store files.

same issue here, ignored and now a .gitignore shows up as well in the changes.

I think it's normal for .gitignore to show up in changes. The latest build seems to have fixed this problem.

Ye figured that .gitignore should be added to the repo since everyone who has it should have the same ignored / hidden files.

This not exactly a github proble but rather a git one: http://help.github.com/ignore-files/ If git is keeping track of a file, adding it to the gitignore won't stop it you have to manually: git rm --cached That is to say: git rm --cached .DS_Store

To prevent it, add .DS_Store to your main .gitignore (github preferences) so git won't ever keep track of .DS_Store s.
