No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Also ran into this on 3.15.6: Git hooks silently skipped for all Source Control operations since 3.15.6 — git extension forces `core.hooksPath=/dev/null`

Thanks for flagging this - what you’re describing isn’t intended, and it’s an issue we’re tracking. Merging into Git hooks silently skipped for all Source Control operations since 3.15.6. In the meantime, commits from the terminal still run hooks; Source Control Commit does not. I’ll post updates on the primary thread.
