gitignore just doesn't work. I can't get it to ignore .DS_Store & .gitignore files

Question

I have .gitignored .DS_Store and .gitignore files. But still see them in the \"git status\".

Can someone explain to me how I can m

Answer 1

This is what your .gitignore should look like:

.DS_Store

Also, the .gitignore is meant to be tracked, ignoring it doesn't make sense. So after you've updated the file to contain just .DS_Store do:

$ git add .gitignore
$ git commit -m "Track .gitignore"
