title: git says a binary file is created upon clicking the existing files in my cd
body: <p>This is actually not an issue like &quot;Git says my file is modified while it is not&quot;. So, I don't think that this may be a line ending issue.
  Instead, git says that a new file is created starting with <strong>&quot;._&quot;</strong>.</p>
  <p>For example, when I click <strong>myfile.ext</strong> in my directory, <code>git status</code> show that a new file is created as <strong>._myfile.ext</strong> in the same directory although it is not seen in my local cd. However, when I push it, it is there in the remote but it cannot be opened.</p>
  <p>When I started using git, I didn't have this problem but I am experiencing this recently.
  Should I simply <code>.gitignore</code> or can we actually see the source of this issue?</p>
