Research direction

Start by checking the repository root for .DS_Store, then inspect contributing.md and the existing ignore configuration. Done means the unwanted file is removed and contributing.md explains adding .DS_Store to gitignore; verify the resulting changes with git status.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

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
