The git control in VScode whenever I create new folders and files has my entire .Trash folder on Mac. I try to .gitignore it, yet it's still there. In Github Desktop, the .Trash folder does not show. Why does this happen in VScode?

Does this answer your question? [How to remove all local files that were accidentally added to the git system](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/62244042/how-to-remove-all-local-files-that-were-accidentally-added-to-the-git-system) – matt Mar 24 '21 at 00:59

Considering the Trash folder is usually under $HOME (~/.Trash), that would means your $HOME itself is tracked by Git: check if you have a ~/.git subfolder.
That would explain why VSCode interpret that tree structure as a Git repo, including one of its subolders (.Trash)
Ideally, you would not need a repository directly in $HOME, but only in the parent folder of your project.
