Just add the .vs folder to the .gitignore file.

Here is the template for Visual Studio from GitHub's collection of .gitignore templates, as an example:
https://github.com/github/gitignore/blob/master/VisualStudio.gitignore

If you have any trouble adding the .gitignore file, just follow these steps:

3. Finally, click Add in the Ignore File section.

Done. ;)
This default file already includes the .vs folder.
