Describe the Bug

When clicking on fix in cursor button in the github comment, it opens up cursor and complains about the branch not being checked out. The branch is in fact checked out, but under a subdirectory of the project. No way to continue because of the error message (“checkout branch”,“continue”). Continue doesn’t.

Steps to Reproduce

cursor config
top level directory/repo1
top level directory/repo2

click on a bug fix for a repo and it fails.

Is this just a normal subdirectory or a git submodule? There’s a known issue with git submodules here

7

The top level is a normal directory. Each subdirectory is a git checkout. Not sure if that is what you mean by submodule.

Yeah I believe those are git submodules! A bit tricky here but we should try to prioritize fixing this. This is on our list :slight_smile:

Im happy to restructure the project to add each repo directly wiht cursor if that works now for the search engine. Before it would only ever search the first project added.
