Hi,

Thanks for posting on the Cursor forum!

Hey, thanks for the report. This is a known issue and the bug is logged with the team. It looks like the rg (ripgrep) process started scanning your whole $HOME instead of only the workspace path, which causes the hang.

Temporary workaround: roll back to version 2.1.41 (it’s stable)

To help the team with a fix, could you collect some diagnostics:

  • View > Output > select Git and send the logs
  • Help > Toggle Developer Tools > Console (screenshot any errors)
  • A list of installed Git extensions

Also please check:

  • Settings > Git: Enabled is on
  • Settings > Git: Auto Repository Detection is on
  • You’re opening the folder that contains .git directly, not the parent folder
