I try to select a branch or create a new one / or a worktree while in Cursor 3, and there is no option. It appears to not list any branches available.
Steps to Reproduce
Use cursor on windows with a repository under WSL, then add the WSL repository as a workspace in cursor, and try and start a new chat that is on another branch of worktree.
Thanks for reporting this, and sorry for the friction here. We’ve raised a bug report for the WSL branch/worktree picker issue in the Cursor 3 Agent UI, and we’ll follow up here once we have a fix or more concrete update. As a temporary workaround, you can switch or create the branch manually from your WSL terminal with git switch / git checkout, then start the agent from that workspace state.
Yeah I also don’t have that new worktree thing either (dropdown to the right of the branch one), but I could have sworn it did work at one point when I was trying out Cursor 3.
It DOES work for a repo thats on windows, but not for anything within WSL. I assume both of these being missing is related (can’t have a worktree if git isn’t working).
It’s for sure some sort of issue with the application/wsl integration though. The actual agent/harness stuff works fine, if you tell it to make a worktree it can, etc.
I also repeatedly see “setting up WSL” pop up. I’ve tried wiping cursor-server folder in WSL, didn’t help.
Editor window w/ WSL works mostly fine, sometimes get issues with failing to save files in worktrees (not actually though, its just some application state issue), but thats been a thing for months.
