    I run a batch file on any inserted USB automatically that checks and deletes .DS_Store and ._*

    I have never been happier.

    Just use terminal instead of file explorer, and there you go 🤓

    it's so annoying when they send me files from a stupid mac

    @vinaysshenoy my point was that it's using the file explorer that creates those shit. If you only use the terminal to navigate, you're fine.
    But I agree that it's still a pain in the ass to have to restrain yourself in order to avoid being annoyed.

    If it already is there: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/...
    Or just add .DS_Store in .gitignore just after git init.
    Everyone who commits those files should have git push privilege revoked ...

    @aBrokenDonut Mac OS generate .DS_Store ressource file for Finder app in each directory you browse on a windows formatted drive/smb/cifs volume. I'm right?

    @mk3d I think it's any directory anywhere and used for the GUI sort/position of files iirc.. I don't think you could disable it entirely, only on networked locations.

    @brod Yup. It creates it everywhere.

    Did you know that the creation of these files is actually an unfixed bug in macOS?

    From my reading the links on that SO i think those files store comments made on files through "get info" panel but I guess the bug causes them to be made every time you view a folder in macOS
