git_delete_dsstore_files

This script will delete all .DS_Store files from the Git repository in the given directory ($PWD if not given).

This script will remove all .DS_Store files from the working tree, from the index, and from the file system.

You need to commit the changes afterward (if any .DS_Store files have previously been committed to the repository).

Usage

$ scripts/git/git_delete_dsstore_files.sh

$ tree --noreport -a -I .git /tmp/example
/tmp/example
├── .DS_Store
├── a
│   └── .DS_Store
├── b
│   └── .DS_Store
└── c
    └── .DS_Store
$ cd /tmp/example
$ git ls-tree --full-tree -r --name-only HEAD
.DS_Store
a/.DS_Store
$ git diff --staged --name-only
b/.DS_Store
$ cd -
$ scripts/git/git_delete_dsstore_files.sh /tmp/example

The repository at '/private/tmp/example' does not ignore '.DS_Store' files.

You should add '.DS_Store' to your global exclusion file:

  git config --global core.excludesfile

And to your project's exclusion file:

  /private/tmp/example/.gitignore
