the vscode(?) ui is blocking me from pushing/pulling and interacting with git even though I have git credentials set globally in cursor built-in terminal and can access creds + push/commit via cli.
The ui keeps telling me to log in, can’t find a way to log in/log out of github with cursor.
Hey, you need to change the activity bar orientation from horizontal to vertical (like in VS Code). To do this, go to settings and adjust the configuration, and you’ll be able to log in or out just like in VS Code.
Ok turns out Cursor was using the .gitconfig file from the default install location "C:\Users\USERNAME\.gitconfig" but global git commands in terminal were editing a config file where my project files were "D:\Git Projects\.gitconfig".
git config --show-origin --global user.name was very helpful to debug
Resolved the issue with a symlink file in the C:\Users install location linking to where the config was actually stored.
