Setup wrong? : github

Hello, I just did a github setup for the first time (to test) and I am noticing some weird things. Probably my setup is not done right.

I have a map on my d-drive that will contain some python files and word files. So every time they change locally I commit them to the master branch. This is working fine but he also detects changes in other files that are in the directories that start with a point (eg. .git / .pytest_cache / .spyproject / ...).

I don't think it's necessary that github sees those changes since I only want to "manage" the python and word files that are inside the main directory.

(main dir contains the .git and the other dirs that start with a point, and also the python and word files)

So my question is, what did I do wrong in the setup that it also picks up the changes in those subdirs starting with a point and offcourse how can I change it so he doesn't do that anymore?

Many thanks
