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
.gitdirectly, not the parent folder
