I found this generated file named "d" in my directory, it looks like the history of a git log output for a particular branch, but it could be something different, this is an example of one of the lines of the file, modified.

[02m789c537890fac34567f6a784374c58d943[m Committing our changes

Does anyone have an idea of what this is, and how it gets generated?

    Git didn't generate that file. It's something else in your toolchain. If I knew what did generate it this'd be an answer not just a comment, but for sure it wasn't git. – jthill Apr 10 '20 at 23:42

    Besides what @jthill said, the `[02m`...`[m` part looks like something trying to print in greyed-out (faint) text. The thing in between looks like a hash ID, but abbreviated to 34 bytes. See also https://stackoverflow.com/a/33206814/1256452 – torek Apr 11 '20 at 00:39
  • What *exactly* did you do before the file got generated? Why do you think git added it? – Gino Mempin Apr 11 '20 at 12:38
  • `Committing our changes` is the best commit message ever, it looks like a file that is a redirected output from some kind of program – rioV8 Apr 11 '20 at 12:41
