Can the CLI Sync be made to ignore .DS_Store files?

FeatureStudio Bug

It's not a big thing, but it happens a lot! On Mac OS X there's an invisible file in every directory (.DSStore) that is updated by the OS whenever you interact with files in the Finder. As a result, simple interactions with files trigger a CLI Sync error: [TIMESTAMP] [Sync] Not syncing, file extension if now allowed: marketplacebuilder/views/partials/layouts/modules/module14/.DSStore
I just opened a folder in the Finder. Nothing bad happens. It just presents a bunch of needless red error messages.
Anyway, if there's an exclusion file within the CLI, I'd vote to add that file type/extension to the ignore list.

    Hey Bruce Dunnan
    Sure this is something we can add. Just to note that the .DS_store file usually only exists when the folder has some form of metadata like an icon or a background image.
    Are you running CLI in a folder that syncs to a service such as Dropbox or OneDrive? Just wondering why you see it so much more than others is all
