Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?
Cursor IDE
Describe the Bug
After connecting a Cursor rule from a public GitHub repository, the rule disappeared and the option to add or connect rules from GitHub is no longer visible in Cursor settings. On another computer with the same account, the “Add from GitHub” option is still available, so the issue appears specific to this installation. Cursor 2.5.26 (Universal), VSCode 1.105.1, macOS Darwin arm64 25.3.0.
Steps to Reproduce
- Previously connected a rule from a public GitHub repo via the rules settings.
- The connected rule stopped appearing in the rules list.
- Opened Cursor Settings → Rules (or equivalent).
- The option to add/connect rules from GitHub is no longer shown.
- On another PC, the same account still shows the “Add from GitHub” option.
Expected Behavior
The option to add or connect rules from a GitHub repository should remain available in settings, and rules connected from a public GitHub repo should stay in the list and continue to work. Behavior should be consistent across installations under the same account.
