I have recently started an ASP.NET Core project, and after initializing it with Git, I noticed that a lock icon appeared in front of some files. I am not sure what this icon represents or how to remove it.

enter image description here

Steps to Reproduce:

• Create a new ASP.NET Core project.
• Initialize the project with Git (git init).

Observations:

• A lock icon appears in front of some files in my project directory.

Questions:

• What does the lock icon signify?
• How can I remove this lock icon if it is not needed?

Additional Information:

• I am using .NET 8.0.
• I am using Git Bash, and Visual Studio.
• Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!
