Mac user generally face this issue where .DS_Store file gets generated automatically and pops up in the git changes ( unless you've added it in ignore 😅 )
What is DS_Store?
- It known as Desktop Services Store and it holds meta information about your folder’s thumbnails, settings, etc.
Why?
- These files are created any time you navigate to a file or folder from the Finder on a Mac.
How to get rid of it?
- Probably you already know the solution, .gitignore
Thank you for reading the short blog.

Thanks for highlighting,
Technically same thing in the stackoverflow, it just remove and then add to .gitIgnore, but whether to remove or not is user's preferance.
Oh it's a Mac file , never knew why it came on all my repos.
