Git color code for contributor page

Question

I was wondering what these colors green and red signify! Also what is this '++' besides green colored number for?

Thanks,

Before you down-vote this question, please look at this link What are the green and red gems beside Github Gist Revisions There it looks like green signify for deletion and red for addition! Although I admit that looks counter-intuitive. Thats why I am asking to be sure. Thanks.

This indicates how many lines of code changed in the commits by this user.

In this case the user has added 2459 and deleted 180 lines of code in 4 commits.

Note: GitHub treats line changes as deletion and addition:

- "Orginal Text"
+ "Orginal 2 Text"

Would result in 1 ++ / 1--!

They mean lines added and lines deleted, respectively. The ++ means added; the -- means deleted.
