Cursor IDE
Version control can’t detect the git folder in the main working directory. It is stuck at the “Scanning folder for Git repositories…” message.
Nothing specific. Open a workspace, and it fails to detect the git folder.
Detect the folder and sync local repo.
Linux
Version: 2.2.17
I tried different folders and projects, all failed.
Yes - Cursor is unusable

I revert Cursor to to follow version (2.1.41), the source code functionality starts working.
You can download the older version from GitHub - flyeric0212/cursor-history-links: 自动抓取并维护Cursor各平台(Windows、macOS、Linux)的历史版本下载链接，让用户可以根据需要安装或降级到特定版本。

Hey, thanks for the report. This looks like a regression in 2.2.17. I’ll escalate the bug to engineering.
Could you help with diagnostics:
View > Output > select Git and share logs from the moment the workspace starts
Help > Toggle Developer Tools > Console and attach errors
Installed git extensions and the result when launching with extensions disabled:
From terminal: cursor --disable-extensions
Does the same repo work in VS Code 1.105.1 on this machine?
Please also check:
Settings > Git: Enabled is on
Settings > Git: Auto Repository Detection is on
Open the folder that contains .git directly, not a higher-level folder
Please send the requested info and screenshots. I’ll update the thread as soon as we have a fix or a build with the patch.
Hey!
I could gather some logs from Developer Tools, but couldn’t find Git Output View.
Tried disabling extensions - no luck
Latest VS Code is working fine with my repo
All three checks are done, and they are OK

Any updates on this? I tried AppImage too but no luck. I con not use Cursor for the last week and will switch if this is not resolved.

For me, it looks like an rg process triggered by Cursor Remote-SSH (I suspect) that scans my entire $HOME. The issue is that I happened to have a very large remote NFS mounted under $HOME, so the scan got stuck.
The process command looked something like this:
/home/USER_NAME/.cursor-server/bin/20adc1003928b0f1b99305dbaf845656ff81f5d0/node_modules/@vscode/ripgrep/bin/rg --files --hidden --no-ignore --no-config --color=never -g **/*.code-workspace -g .cursorignore -g **/.git/config
My workaround was to unmount that NFS mount point, and voilà—it was fixed.
If anyone from the Cursor team is reading this: I think this rg process should run under the target project/workspace path, not under $HOME.

After today’s update, I can’t use Cursor anymore. Any updates on this issue? What’s going on with your product? I’ve paid for a 1 year subscription and this is what gets released?

This is a very serious bug. It has been blocking me from updating Cursor for more than a month! Please fix it ASAP.
