Hi,

I'm trying to understand what the main window is trying to tell me when the entire background is red:

Individual red file markers indicate that the file itself has changed.
Red folders indicate that there is a change in the folder.

But what does it mean when the file window background is red? 

If I click on the "install_docker" folder, the background is white.

Thanks!

Eric

Hi Eric,

Because the relevant part is not shown in your screenshot I need to guess: probably you have filtered the file view and some changed (red) file is hidden.

Hi Thomas,

Indeed, I tried clicking on all the different view options and noticed that showing the non-yet version controlled files will make the background change from red to white.

The surprise, however, is that the non-versioned file is a submodule which is separately managed/versioned as an independent git repo in the project tree (see the repo listed right below).

Is that expected behaviour?  Do I need to register/add the submodule to the current project?

Thanks,

Eric
