Files in a folder are highlighted green with a number 1 next to them. What does this signify?

Question

Yesterday a few files in one of my folders(git repository) have turned green and have a number next to them like so: 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!

Answer 1

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
