Improved Error Handling in `remap_file` Function and Added `.DS_Store` to `.gitignore (#3195)
### Description:
This pull request introduces two significant changes:
**Improved Error Handling in `remap_file` Function:**
- The error handling in the `remap_file` function has been simplified
for improved clarity and user-friendliness. The original code included a
combination of `assert` and `exit`, which could be perplexing during
runtime.
**Changes Made:**
- Replaced the original `assert` and `exit` with a more straightforward
`if-else` block for handling errors.
- Utilized `sys.exit` for clear error messages and proper program
termination when an error occurs.
**Why I Did It:**
- Improved Clarity: The original code's `assert` primarily served
debugging purposes and might not behave as expected during runtime. The
new code offers clarity and predictability.
- User-Friendly Errors: The updated code provides users with easily
understandable error messages.
**Added `.DS_Store` to `.gitignore`:**
- `.DS_Store` files are commonly generated by macOS Finder to store
folder-specific metadata. They do not need to be tracked in version
control.
**Changes Made:**
- Added `.DS_Store` to the `.gitignore` file.
**Why I Did It:**
- To prevent `.DS_Store` files from being tracked in the Git repository,
ensuring a cleaner repository and avoiding unintended commits of
macOS-specific files.
### Improvements:
- **Better Error Handling:** The new code in the `remap_file` function
ensures the program exits gracefully with informative error messages
when errors occur.
- **Enhanced Code Clarity:** The code now communicates its intentions
more clearly with `sys.exit` for handling expected runtime errors.
- **Cleaner Git Repository:** The addition of `.DS_Store` to
`.gitignore` prevents the tracking of macOS-specific files in version
control.
