Comment on .gitignore Is Inherently Sisypheanparent

Comments

It's not a problem with PRs if you use Squash merge, the developer can make any number of changes to that PR but in the end, only the final version (in this case it doesn't include .DS_Store) will be commited. even the .DS_Store file will not be in the git index

That sacrifices the git history though. It turns the PR into a huge atomic change instead of a series of step-by-step changes that are easy to review.
