.DS_Store means Desktop Services Store. It's a hidden file that macOS creates in folders to save things like icon position, window size, and folder layout.
We add *.DS_Store to .gitignore because:
- It's not part of the code.
- It can be accidentally committed by macOS users.
- It adds unnecessary files to the project.
- It's not useful for people using Windows or Linux.
- macOS creates this file automatically when someone opens a folder, so it might get added without them noticing.

.pid files store the Process ID of a running service or application (like a web server or background worker like celery). These files are temporary, system-specific, and should not be tracked in version control.
✅ Ignoring both helps keep the repository clean and free from unnecessary or machine-specific files.

I meant specifically PID. Where in this repository are we generating PID files? Seems unnecessary

You're right, and I agree that adding *.pid is unnecessary. However, I wanted to point out that celerybeat.pid is already included in the .gitignore file under the Celery stuff section.
