Save a version you can return to
Put the project under Git, make the first commit and learn what checkpoints are for.
New to Cursor? Start with the first lesson in this guide.
What this lesson covers
- Know your two ways back
- Turn the folder into a repository
- Ask what you're looking at
- Make the first commit
- See your saved version
You’ll come away with: Save a Git commit before Agent changes anything. Checkpoints undo Agent's own edits; Git keeps every version of the project.
