Origin positions Cursor to challenge GitHub's dominance by capitalizing on recent outages and performance issues.
Reporting from 1 source: GIGAZINE.
Cursor, the AI coding tool owned by Elon Musk's SpaceX, announced Origin, a code hosting service that competes with GitHub. Origin enters beta for paid users, offering repositories, pull requests, code browsing, and GitHub sync, with agent-native features planned. GitHub remains the source of truth for synced work.
Origin is rolling out gradually as an initial beta to all paid plan users, except enterprise organizations where administrators have opted out. The service includes repositories, pull requests, code browsing, and GitHub sync, with agent-native features planned. Repositories are accessible from the codebase tab in Cursor, and new repositories display commands for installing the CLI, cloning, and pushing a local project.
GitHub repositories can be used alongside Origin-hosted ones. Users can connect GitHub, select an organization, and sync repositories, with real-time updates and the ability to disconnect at any time. Pushes still go to GitHub, which remains the source of truth for work started there. Pull requests are synced bidirectionally, and agents are available for all repositories.
