Git Push/SSH Not Working in Cursor Terminal After macOS Update

Hey, this is a known issue with macOS Local Network permissions after updating to v2.4.21. We’ve seen a few similar reports over the last week.

Try these two options:

  1. Sandbox settings in Cursor
  • Cursor Settings > Agents > Auto-Run > Auto run mode: switch to “Ask every time” or “Run Everything (Unsandboxed)”
  • Also check Auto-Run Network Access. It should be enabled
  1. macOS permissions
  • System Settings > Privacy & Security > Local Network
  • Find Cursor and enable the permission
  • Important: macOS sometimes shows Cursor under a different name in this list. One user found that enabling the permission for a completely different app (Notion) fixed it. Try enabling them one by one and test after each change.

If Cursor doesn’t show up in the list, run ping github.com from the normal Cursor terminal (not an agent). That should trigger the system permission prompt.

Let me know if any of this helps.
