Shouldn't the .DS_Store rule go in Mac users' user-wide core.excludesFile file, and not in the .gitignore of individual projects?

Well, this project already had .Ds_Store committed so this would be a safe way to prevent it.

I think you're missing my point. The .DS_Store files are produced by Mac OS and not by anything specific to Whitaker's Words, so they should go in Mac users' global ~/.config/git/ignore and not in the project's .gitignore. Otherwise, you run into ridiculous situations where everyone wants every project's .gitignore to be polluted with their own favorite OS's metadata files, and, much worse, their own favorite editor's backup files.
