Rules from GitHub disappeared; "Add from GitHub" option no longer available (Cursor 2.5.26)

Hey, your screenshot shows that the “+ New” dropdown only has “User Rule.” That’s expected, the “Add from GitHub” option is only available when a project is open.

How to get it back:

  • Open your project folder in Cursor (File > Open Folder)
  • Go to Cursor Settings > Rules
  • Click “+ New” under Project Rules, you should see “Remote Rule (GitHub)”

Let me know if it still doesn’t show up with a project open.
