Cursor IDE unable to load the Github branches

@sawongam On Linux the pattern is similar, but the workspaceStorage path is different. Try the same workaround:

  1. Fully close Cursor.
  2. Delete or back up ~/.config/Cursor/User/workspaceStorage/ (you can remove the whole folder if you only have a few workspaces. Otherwise find the right one by checking workspace.json via grep).
  3. Reopen the project.

If it still doesn’t help, please share:

  • Your Cursor version Cursor > About and your Arch build info (kernel and DE).
  • The last lines from Output > Extension Host and Output > Log (Window), especially anything with TIMEOUT, EMFILE, or extension host unresponsive.
  • Whether you use husky or lint-staged, big monorepos, lots of active file watchers, anything that could increase the number of open file descriptors.

We’re tracking this issue, but I can’t share an ETA for a fix yet.

@webdo Yep, this is the same family of Extension Host bugs. Thread #159314 Basic functionality completely broken: Git, Containers, Remote SSH is in the same category.
