Description
The .DS_Store file is a MacOS file which is created by finder to save folder preferences and configurations. This file may contain sensitive information as it contains the names of other files in the containing folder.
In this case it's useless
Also the contributing.md file should contain an info for developers to add .DS_Store to gitignore
