Now I am not sure if cursor is the culprit here because the issue only happens when cursor is connected to windows’ WSL2 ubuntu environment.

  2. Get WSL extension and connect it to ubuntu
  3. Make sure git works in WSL
  4. Confirm git not working in cursor’s UI

When I click Source Control → Fetch I get this
