I added my solution to source control and synced the project up to Github. However, when my colleague tried to clone the repo and open the Report Project, they saw an image like the one below.

However, this method of interacting with SSRS reports is not what we are used to seeing. I tried several internet searches, but I was unable to find why the Reports folder was missing from the solution. I finally started clicking around happened to find an icon that displayed Solutions and Folders.

Clicking on the Solutions and Foldersicon returned the Reports folder in the Solution Explorer window.
