Aggressively removing DS_Store files in git repos

DS_Store files in git repositories is a minor problem for a lot of people. Global .gitignore files are a great solution to not commiting DS_Store files but it won’t actively remove them from your project directories.

This is my shortcut for git status:

function s() {
    find . -name '*.DS_Store' -type f -delete   #find and delete DS_Store files
    git status -s -b        #s - simple output, b - include branch name
}
