Do you see them in `git status`?

If you see something like this:

$ git status
On branch electron
Your branch is up to date with 'origin/electron'.

Untracked files:
  (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)
	package-lock.json

nothing added to commit but untracked files present (use "git add" to 
track)

Then the file isn't part of the repo (in this case, package-lock.json 
isn't part of the repo I was checking). That would be consistent with what 
you're seeing.
