I have two computers: a MacBook on which I have installed Cursor for my own projects, and a Dell provided by my company on which Cursor is also installed.
On my MacBook, I have set up my own ‘user rules’ for my current project. However, when I switch to my Dell computer, my MacBook’s user rules are synchronised. This means that when I open my Dell, I find the user rules from my MacBook instead (And Vice & Versa)
Ideally, I would like to keep these two environments distinct — let’s say the MacBook specialises in JavaScript and the Dell specialises in Python.
As you have noticed the user rules are linked to the user account in Cursor and synched between devices.
As an alternative you could create in the projects a .cursorrules file and add it to .gitignore. Though if you like you can also keep the .cursorrules file in git and commit it.
The .cursorrule file would allow you to have a project wide central rule without synching.
Hey, yes, this is an issue that has already received complaints. Since the rules are stored in the cloud, I found a workaround and suggested to our developers a feature to enable/disable rules. This will fix the problem as you can simply disable the rules you don’t need at the moment. I hope they implement this.
