All files colored red in Phpstorm

even i was curious to know about this. my be this will be helpful for you https://www.jetbrains.com/phpstorm/help/file-status-highlights.html#1

@zeecaniago hey there.

Rest assure there is no file error. The files are red because you are using git. I bet that if you run git status you will see that all of the files are new and you need to add them.

Basically, with PHPStorm the files colors determine:

• red - new file in git
• yellow/orange - file has been changed
• green - file has been added (git add)
• regular - the file is up to date with the current git commit

That's all ;)

Thanks everyone.

@kfirba actually, I don't use .git for this project. I tried git status and it gave me "fatal: Not a git repository" error.

@coder Thanks for the link. I found out that the error was because PhpStorm thought the files are unknown. So, if I go to Preference > File Status, there is an option of "Unknown". If I disable that, the red color disappears. But, it's weird tho. Why would PhpStorm thinks that the files are unknown? any idea?

i think it is unknown as per the git not for Phpstorm . read the link description and @kfirba 's comment again .

Oh, I think I found what the issue is (after one year. haha!). At least for my local, when I changed the "vcs" column to "git" (by default it's "svn"), the files changed to white/normal again. They were actually not red, but "brown"-ish.
