Can't connect GitHub to Cursor

[thomasb]

Describe the Bug

When I click the “Connect” button in the “Tools & Integrations” tab, it takes me to a tab where I signed into GitHub, then it said “GitHub connected! Feel free to return to Cursor.”

But when I return to Cursor, the “Connect” button appears to refresh or something, then continues to say “Connect.” What’s going on?

Steps to Reproduce

Try to connect GitHub

Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Hey, thanks for the report. Despite what is shown as “Connect”, your connection most likely succeeded. You can try checking the connection status in your account.
