Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?
Cursor IDE
Describe the Bug
Today Cursor decided to commit something directly to git. It has never done this before, and git is not in the allowlist of commands. (And no, it did not ask for permission, it just did it).
One of the things I have liked about Cursor up to this point is that it doesn’t do things like this. It can change files, sure, but as the human developer I expect to be in charge of everything related to version control.
This sudden change of behavior is concerning and makes me leery about using Cursor. I don’t want it messing with my Github repositories in ANY way, especially if I haven’t given it access to.
Steps to Reproduce
In my prompt, I gave it details about the problem I’m having and then said "Please investigate and propose a fix for this error. "
Expected Behavior
Cursor should NOT be committing things to git unless explicitly asked, and it should NOT be able to run git commands if the command is not on the allowlist.
