Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?
Background Agent (GitHub, Slack, Web, Linear)
Describe the Bug
I have two github accounts. My cursor account is with my primary github login.
If I am using cursor with my second github account (and git is configured to my second account and cursor settings, github is also authorised to my second account), if I spin up a background agent to do a task, the resulting pull request will have commits authored by “cursoragent” and my primary account.
Thus linking my two accounts which is not what I want.
In the screenshot attached it should only refer to the second account.
Steps to Reproduce
Start a background agent in a repo on a second github account.
Expected Behavior
background agents should only operate in the context of the github account they are working in.

Does this stop you from using Cursor
No - Cursor works, but with this issue
