Yesterday a few files in one of my folders(git repository) have turned green and have a number next to them like so: enter image description here Can anybody tell me what this means? The repository is synced and up to date and that was the only possible thing I could assume it meant. Thanks!

Those are the file explorer's problem decorations. They use colors and indicators to show which files have problems associated with them. The green here indicates there is a warning in the file, and the 1 indicates that there is one warning.

You can disable these by setting: "problems.decorations.enabled": false

    Warnings would normally be yellow. Green means tracked and with changes since the last Git commit. It seems green overrides yellow. – underscore_d Jun 11 '20 at 15:22

This works well if you are using git. Doing a simple commit to your repo will take the warnings away.

I am using SVN external to VS code for a project and it became quite frustrating seeing files with issues and 'untracked'.

If anyone else in in this boat, set "git.enabled": false in your vs code workspace settings.

I've been searching for this. I've finally figured out the answer.

Go to File>Preferences>Settings (also ctrl + ,)

Go tot he "Workspace" tab > Git. Set Decorations Enabled: Off Settings>Workspace>Git>Decorations Enabled: Off
