hi @DinoCodes and thank you for your bug report. You may need to connect Cursor to Github first. Could you check Github Actions tab? ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/cursor1/original/3X/c/3/c3bf407353fd3858c24ef2f422b60a48465d4558.png) ---

Thank you. I have done that. I have done everything. Nothing worked. ---

Can you give me step by step instructions please ? Where is GitHub actions tab? Git Hub shows as connected to Cursor and viceversa. ---

The GitHub Actions tab is shown in the primary sidebar icons menu. You can access it also by going to Command Palette and searching for “Github Actions” ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/cursor1/original/3X/8/f/8f8a1831e9388a3d6799bcdd460b41842a9f2447.png) Once you click to Sign in to GitHub it will open the browser and ask you to sign in, then provide a ‘code’ that is shown in Cursor bottom left to connect it to GitHub ---

Thank you. Let me try this? Where is this written? They assume that a user should know this ? This is a legal issue . ---

Hey, try logging out of your GitHub account in Cursor and then logging back in. There might have been some error. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/cursor1/original/3X/0/b/0b0a7b01341304cc6a2388e2da20fcde7e497e5c.png) ---

I have done that about 37 times. No change. I am not sure what hidden tokens and codes they talk about. What is GitHub actions? A command that we are expected to know ? There is some code that I am supposed to look for in Cursor’s bottom left ? Wow, just wow. ---

Do I type Show GitHub actions into Cursor’s search box ??? ---

Nothing happens when I type in Show GitHub Actions. There is no such command in my search box in Cursor. Can you elaborate more please ? Cursor devs expect users to debug the tool themselves ? ---

Is the GitHubActions tab the search bar in Cursor ? What left bottom corner hidden code are you talking about ? ---

Just a moment please while I review options. GitHub functionality is provided builtin by the editor and not something we added. ---

GitHub Actions is an extension, but in this case, you don’t need it.
