Something called Worktree has invaded my software and the AI couldnt find my files because you redirected him to some weird PC location. Now commits wont even work!!! Whats going on!!! Enough updates! Give me stable software without the Editors PAnel. I dont code. I’m not interested. I just want the Agent and a Commit button. Find a layperson to interact with your software. if they cant figure it out easily, you failed.
Steps to Reproduce
open cursor. make a change. no commits.
Expected Behavior
commits work. my folder is not forgotten by ai
Operating System
Windows 10/11
Current Cursor Version (Menu → About Cursor → Copy)
Hey, thanks for the report. I understand your frustration. Let’s sort this out.
Worktrees are a feature for parallel agents that uses git worktrees. They’re created automatically in certain Agent scenarios. More details: Parallel Agents | Cursor Docs
To help with the commit issue, I need a bit more info:
A screenshot of the Source Control panel (View > Source Control or Ctrl+Shift+G) - what exactly isn’t working with commits?
Check worktrees in the terminal: open the terminal in Cursor and run git worktree list - please share the output
Issue with AI and files: can you share a chat where the AI can’t find files? A Request ID would help (Chat menu > Copy Request ID)
Temporary workarounds:
If you see many worktrees in the SCM panel, hide them: Settings > search “git.showCursorWorktrees” > uncheck it
Try cleaning up worktrees manually via terminal: git worktree list, then git worktree remove <path> for the unneeded ones
