I followed the instructions in the docs ( Rules | Cursor Docs ) but it doesn’t work for me. After entering the git url and hitting enter it is not showing up at all.
Hey, thanks for the report. This is a known issue: Remote Rules from GitHub are cloned successfully into ~/.cursor/projects/{project}/rules/, but Cursor doesn’t pick them up for use.
The team is working on a fix. Similar cases:
- From github import Project rules bug
- Remote Rule (GitHub) syncs to ~/.cursor but not to project directory
To help narrow down your case, can you share:
- Your Cursor version (Menu → About Cursor → Copy)
- Your OS
- Whether you’re using a multi-root workspace (a
.code-workspacefile)
Temporary workaround: use local .cursorrules or .cursor/rules/*.mdc files instead of Remote Rules.
Thank you!
