I think “the content of the file” means the content of the file on disk is newer - so could there be any external process modifying your file (at least the time stamps of the disk file)?
Thanks for reply and trying to help. I am not sure what’s going on. The situation is intermittent. My setup is pretty simple I have two computers both with PIO & VScode installed. One is my dev m/c and the other is an operational machine. I use github on both, pushing to remote on the dev m/c and pulling on the operational machine. I’ll see if I can get any further info.
