It looks bad, but never fear!
You need to save, commit or add the changes in the file, and make sure there are no errors. I like to think of it as a kind of 'wet paint' sign. Work's not complete yet!
So for the example where my package-lock.json is red and has a !, I can either:
git add package-lock.json
git commit package-lock.json
or
git revert HEAD [main COMMIT_REF] Revert "prepend content to package.json" 1 file changed, 1 deletion(-)
(I also need to check for errors in my code.)
If you need more info on git revert (I certainly did, it's cool how it saves your commits so you don't lose anything), there's a helpful article on Atlassian.

I don't know that I've ever seen the "!" indicator for this?
My VS Code uses the letter indicators outlined here: stackoverflow.com/questions/483041...
I guess there must be a setting to change between these options? 🤔
I think I had unsaved changes I was trying to commit, whereas your changes are saved but not committed-- I just noticed the article I cited was for Tortoise, my bad! I'll edit it.
I don't think that's it? If I have unsaved changes all I'm seeing is a filled circle on the tab - and if I save changes, then modify the file more without saving I see both an "M" and the filled circle indicating unsaved changes 🤔
I'm very confused as to why there's a difference 😅
strange! Maybe someone will see our conversation and help us out.
