Your .DS_Store scenario finally resonated with me as I guess I wasn't cluing on to this concept because I had not yet needed to use it in a project. Thank you. I ended up using this as a starting point as I use all different operating systems noting specifically the # OS generated files # section.

I know I am late to this thread, but thank you @AndyLester! I am a novice when it comes to programming and Github. I find many of the answers written to address this type of question are filled with terms the novice might not understand (i.e., compilation products, temporary files IDEs create....what the h@ll are these things!). However, your Mac description is perfect in its elegant simplicity!
