You're probably not using a .gitignore file, and git is tracking the Visual Studio user files.
program
Metadata files such as Visual Studio user files shouldn't be tracked in git since they will be different for every member of your team. You can tell git to ignore these files by using a .gitignore file. As the name states, this file tells git which files to ignore. Github has a repo full of useful .gitignore files for different types of projects. Put the contents of such a file in a file .gitignore in the root of your git repo.
