Random nitpick: the issue with color coding files is that you may have many different file types leading to colors that overlap.

Case in point in the author's create-react-app example: in one of the scrolling "comment boxes", the author calls out that the "tasks/" folder is mainly CSS files which made me raise an eyebrow...why would a tasks folder be mainly CSS files? -- and upon closer inspection of the colored legend .sh files are a VERY similar green. Just to satisfy my curiosity I visited the repo and sure enough, it was just .sh files, without a single .css file.

It makes me doubt the experience of the author...how can a folder called tasks/ (in any repo) be .css files?
