After 1st time sync, I found “.DS\_store” and “.gitignore” not synchronize, this spend me a lot to figure it out.
Do you have a list of the ignore files or any way to clear the difference between client & server ?
Thanks, and I love your great works !

One more thing important is: I have nodejs projects, folder “node\_modules” will mess up everything.
Please consider the filter policy if you dont have, thanks!

I found “.idea” folder also ignored.
Look like anything start with “.” is ignored.

Hello @lex,
Take a look at the github issues, if you do not find a similar feature request, would you mind creating a new one and explain your use case to give a better context.
