What is this grey git icon?

github

Solution

Considering it is a submodule, one way for you to see its content is to:

- clone that gitHub repo locally

do a:

git submodule update --init

But you should be able to click on it and browse its content directly from the web, if it was a repo hosted by GitHub. See an example in my project https://github.com/VonC/compileEverything, where the submodule SemanticUI is directly browsable.

Problem

Looks like a folder inside of a folder - or maybe a lock? The file cannot be opened and none of the content appears to be there. One thing I do know is that this folder is a repo itself, inside of a repo
