Additional Information

• Signing out of one works
• But then I can sign out of the other one
• If I clear all the GitHub Apps/Authorized oAuth Apps and tried to start fresh, when I connect the app, it is duplicated again

Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Hey, thanks for the report. I see the screenshot with the duplicate GitHub entry in the Accounts menu.

Help narrow down the cause:

1. Run a quick check without extensions:

• In terminal: cursor --disable-extensions
• Open the Accounts menu and check if the duplicate is gone

2. Sign out and sign back in:

• Cmd+Shift+P > Sign Out of GitHub
• Restart Cursor, then sign in again and check if the duplicate returned

3. If the duplicate remains, please share:

• List of installed GitHub-related extensions (GitHub Pull Requests and Issues, Copilot, Gitlens, etc.)
• Console logs: Help > Toggle Developer Tools > Console (screenshot or text) at the moment of opening the Accounts menu

Let me know if running without extensions helped.
