Additional Information
At first it works
After a push I merged a PR, conflicts remmains
I resolved conflits, push all PR, did proper branches and repositories
Then I encountered the bug “impossible to select a repository”, bug is now solved
I’m connected in cursor to my remote, setup is ok in git & cursor sides
everything is commited or ignored
no pr, no conclicts
I tried to unlink git <> cursor, make the good setup again
Does this stop you from using Cursor
No - Cursor works, but with this issue
