I want to test out Cursor. I already have the project setup in VSCode, and using git for version control.

How do I start using Cursor, with support to pull/push to the same Git repo and the same local folder?

Idea is that if I like Cursor enough to uninstall VScode - I should just do that, and vice-versa.

In that regards it should be the same as VSCode:

> **[Source Control with Git in Visual Studio Code](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/sourcecontrol/overview)**
>
> Visual Studio Code source control management with integrated Git support.

Perhaps I was not clear.

I already have VS Code and Git setup.

I want to try out Cursor with the same repo and local folder.

So, are you saying I should just do the same setup, and point to the same local folder?
