Hey, thanks for the report. It looks like a Git Source Control issue or possibly a conflict with an extension like Git Graph.
Please share:
Output panel logs:
- View > Output > choose “Git” or “Git Graph” from the dropdown: any errors there?
Developer Console:
- Help > Toggle Developer Tools > Console tab: any red errors when you click “Refresh Failed”?
Git version:
Repo check:
- Does git status work correctly in the terminal for this project?
Scope:
- Does this happen with all Git repos or just this one?
Quick checks:
- Click the red “Refresh Failed” button to see details
- Close and reopen the folder/workspace
- Try another Git repository to see if the issue persists
This will help us tell if it’s a Git configuration issue or a Cursor integration bug. Let me know what you find.
