What needs to be in a Git Ignore for macOS

A long time ago I noticed that Apple computers put a lot of files on removable drives that don’t mean anything to operating systems on other computers that you might plug those drives into.

Git also notices those files. If they’re not listed in a Git repository’s Git Ignore, they might get picked up by the remote repository and cause merge conflicts later on.
