Multi-agent and worktrees dont work with multiple project folders?

Discussions

One of my projects has two repositories: one for the frontend and the other for the backend. The aditional repository is added as a folder to the workspace and each contains its own .git file. In such scenario the worktree and multiple agents fail to function properly.

It is be very convenient to have both the frontend and backend repositories in the same workspace, allowing cursor to have knowledge and operate on both simultaneously.

Is this a bug, or is there a solution to this issue?

I have the same issue. In my personal projects it works but not in my work project (the worktree option is missing when selecting the Mode)

The differences between the projects are:

  1. work project uses a devcontainer
  2. work project is a multi root workspace (there is still only one git repo for all of them so a worktree is doable)
  3. work project uses a Team account

Switch to a monorepo?

I have the same issue with a monorepo. The repo is quite large and I like to only open sub folders. In this case, Cursor is not able to find the git repo. I think it’d be helpful if Cursor would traverse upwards in order to find a potential .git folder in a parent directory that is currently not opened.
