About Open GitHub File in Cursor IDE
Open GitHub File in Cursor IDE adds an "Open <name> file in Cursor" item to the
file menus on github.com blob pages so you can jump straight from a file you're
reading on GitHub to that exact file (and line) in your local Cursor IDE.
How it works
- Configure one or more local "projects roots" on the options page (e.g. a
display name "WebstormProjects" with the absolute path "/Users/me/WebstormProjects").
- On any github.com/<user>/<repo>/blob/<branch>/<path> page, the extension
injects an extra item into both the "Open with..." menu and the
highlighted-line context menu for each configured root.
- Clicking the item opens the matching local file in Cursor via Cursor's
cursor:// protocol handler. If the URL hash points to a line (#L60), the
file opens at that line.
- Optional "Project window" toggle: first sends a folder URL so Cursor focuses
(or creates) a window for that workspace, then sends the file URL — useful
if you have several Cursor windows open and want the file to land in the
right project.
Privacy
- The extension does not collect, transmit, or sell any personal data.
- All settings (your folder roots) are stored locally via chrome.storage.sync
and never leave your Google account's sync storage.
- The extension only runs on https://github.com/* and only reads the URL of
the active GitHub tab to build the cursor:// link.
