File editor folder names in red text

Could someone please explain why my file editor looks like this:

i believe that the red indicates that the file has been modified since the last git push (or different from when it was initially created).

if you don’t intend on using git, just ignore the colors.

Thanks for the response but…
I don’t know what git is (so I haven’t done a git push) :rofl:
I’m pretty sure that it’s something I did, I rolled back to a previous backup and the red text returned to black.
It’s possible that I screwed something up by installing and using the Studio Code Server for the first time.
(I’d previously just used File Editor.)

git is just a system to keep revisions of files.

When you edit them they turn red letting you know some should be backed up. when you back them up to git, or revert them back to a prior saved version, they turn black…

don’t worry about it. there’s nothing wrong there.
