Unregistered VCS root detected?

After setting up Android Studio I was given a notification that says, The directory C:\Users\Brandon is under Git, but is not registered in the Settings. I am not for sure what this really means or what I need to do. If anyone can take a moment to enlighten me I would be grateful.

  1. In the error message you have the options "Configure" or "Ignore". Click "Configure".
  2. Settings window will open. Click the "Add root" option. In my case I only had one path on the list to choose from. I selected that path. Please see the image I have included below.
  3. Click Apply, then click OK.

There are also other solutions here, I think for similar problems or older versions of Android Studio: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/27690431/configure-intellij-idea-such-that-source-detected-in-git-but-unregistered-vcs-ro/29358524#29358524
