i am signed in via github but i can’t get source control to connect to Cursor in 0.50, any help? what am i doing wrong?
Hi, that looks unusual as you do not have to install anything to get Git as source control going. Did you disable or removbe extensions for this?
Which operating system do you use?
Yes it is unusual, currently I am opening my project folder in VS code to commit changes to the repo via the source control tab
In Cursor I am able to commit only via terminal commands but my Source control window is stuck here
I am on windows 11
Which extensions are you referring to that I should check for?
I read a user here had a same issue but they solved it by reinstalling Cursor and logging in via Git instead of email, I did the same, but it had no difference.
Yeah, havent heard before of such an issue. Check if you have Git & Git Base extensions installed (shown in Running Extensions)
Commit via terminal doesnt use Cursor, thats why it works there. My suggestion would also have been to install, otherwise you could backup cursor settings folder and remove it, then reinstall which would give you completely fresh installation with default settings.
See instructions here (Clearing App Data)

You’re trying to have a functional versioning extension, right?
Try YOYO extension, it works great for me.

thanks but why use another extension other than gits own for source control 
Its fine to use Git directly, your case is indeed unusal as this is baked in.
Please let me know if following the guide to clear app data and then reinstall helps to get completely clean setup of Cursor. Make sure to use the latest installer from the official website only.
I would be good to know if you still have the Git and Git Base extension installed (see Running Extensions), as the issue would then be something else.

Thanks for your support, appreciate it
I was able to get it back to normal, did a fresh install but also made sure everything from the registry and other directories was removed.
Source control tab works now. Cheers
