Are you talking about the output a run of `git status` produces in a console/terminal window? If yes, the most trivial explanation I can think of is the difference between the stages of those modifications. When a file is modified in the work tree, `git status` lists its name in red (with the default color settings). When you `git add` these changes into the so-called staging are - so that they will be included into the next commit when you run `git commit`, - the name of that file is listed in green (and in another section of the output). With the default color settings (which I admittedly have never tried to change), I have never seen changes which are in the work tree but not in the staging area listed by a color different from red, and the staged changes - in a color different from greed. If hearing the term "staging area" confuses you, consider starting with [1]. 1. https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-Basics-Recording-Changes-to-the-Repository -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.
