Why doesn’t Cursor have the option to select a single repository like VSCode does?

I’m very happy to see the support team engaging with this topic, especially for a paid product. ![]()
cant you just unselect the ones you dont want? that works for me
i think this feature was added in new vscode version, which cursor is behind on
Yes, I can. But this is just an example. We maintain 65 repos in our squad.
So yeah, I can unselect 64 repos every time I want to commit something.
Hey @Marcel0,
That’s a fair point — unselecting 64 repos every time you switch context is not easy.
One practical workaround for a setup like yours: create .code-workspace files that group repos by project or context (e.g., squad-payments.code-workspace with only the 8 repos relevant to payments). You open the workspace file for whatever you’re working on, and Source Control only shows those repos. You can have multiple workspace files for different slices of your 65 repos without manually toggling anything.
To set one up: File → Add Folder to Workspace for each repo you want, then File → Save Workspace As… to save it. Open that .code-workspace file next time instead of the parent folder.
