Ignoring OS files (like .DS_Store) in Git inside dev containers

9 hours ago

VS Code copies .gitconfig but not referenced files like .gitignore_global to dev containers, causing issues with global exclusions.
Using .git/info/exclude for developer-specific files like .DS_Store is recommended to avoid polluting the project .gitignore.
This solution works locally in dev containers, is not tracked by Git, persistent across container rebuilds, and applies to any editor, though it requires per-project setup.
