Following the mdn web docs Django “The Local Library website” tutorial part 2. I committed my files to my Github Repo. Somehow in Vscode the files in my ‘catalog’ app have seemingly disappeared. In their place I am seeing the following all greyed out

```auto
__init__.cpython.312.pyc
admin.cpython.312.pyc
apps.cpython.312.pyc
models.cpython.312.pyc
urls.cpython.312.pyc
views.cpython.312.pyc

```

in the editor window I now see the following alert

```auto
The file is not displayed in the text editor because it is either binary or uses an unsupported text encoding.

```

What does this mean? How can I get the normal files back?

The first step should be to determine exactly what the status of your project is.

I would suggest exiting VSCode and using your command line to verify the contents of that directory. (You can also try using the Windows explorer.)

You should also check github to verify that the files were uploaded.

Yep Ken just like you suggested. Seems the files were not uploaded/pushed/pulled. Let me go back and see where I missed something
