All my files are now highlighted from switching to new branch.
Answered
Hi, so what was happening originally was every time I would switch branches I was forced to add the workspace.xml file so I ignored it on my branch and our develop branch. Then after all was good I decided to go to the "jason" branch to do the same thing and then I noticed everything was highlighted and I cannot mark the src folder as source or anything like that its as if all the settings and such are gone. What can I do to fix this?

What do you have in the project structure | modules? Make sure there is a module present and you should be able to mark the content and source roots: https://stackoverflow.com/a/43319356/104891 .
Thanks! I just tried that but whenever I go back to my own branch and then come back to the "jason" branch it disables VCS "GIT" and it goes back to what the pic above looks like.
VCS information is stored in .idea/vcs.xml file.
Modules information is stored in .idea/modules.xml that references individual .iml files.
Make sure all these files are present in all the branches and their contents are valid.

Will do, I'll let you know if I get everything working.
There is a new feature I discovered recently when I ran into the same issue, which fixed the problem with 2 clicks
