Hey, thanks for the report.

Usually this error happens because Git is missing. Agent mode needs Git installed to work.

Try this:

  1. Check Git: open Command Prompt and run git --version
  2. If Git isn’t installed: download it from Redirecting… and make sure you select the “Add Git to PATH” option during setup
  3. After installing, fully restart Cursor
  4. If the issue still happens, enable Legacy Terminal Mode:
    • Ctrl+Shift+J → Agents → Inline Editing & Terminal
    • Turn on “Legacy Terminal Tool”
    • Ctrl+Shift+P → “Terminal: Kill All Terminals”
    • Fully restart Cursor

Let me know if installing Git fixed it.
