Does this stop you from using Cursor

Yes - Cursor is unusable

Thanks for reporting this! A few quick questions to help us investigate:

1. Which Remote SSH extension are you using - Microsoft’s or Anysphere’s? (Cursor works best with Anysphere Remote SSH)
2. Does Git work normally when opening a local folder (not via SSH)?
3. Could you check View > Output > Git and share any errors you see there?

Also try: CMD + Shift + P > Developer: Reload Window to see if that restores Git functionality. Let us know what you find!
