Cursor launches Origin, a code hosting platform
Cursor launches Origin, a new code hosting platform available in early beta to all paid users. The platform enables creating and managing repositories directly in Cursor, real-time synchronization with GitHub repos, pull request management, and integrations with tools like Vercel, Depot, and Buildkite. Agents within Cursor can access and work on the same code and pull requests.
We recently covered a major GitHub outage and the response it sparked in the community. One of the first responses came from Cursor, the tool recently acquired by Elon Musk, which—in combination with Grok AI, SpaceX, Tesla, and other companies in the same stable—suggests Musk is becoming a modern-day Google or Steve Jobs. Final note: Why is it so crucial to host code for other companies at scale? Because it's the highly demanded "food" for training AI.
What is Cursor Origin?
Origin is Cursor's platform for hosting and managing code. It lets developers create repositories directly in Cursor, sync GitHub repos in real time, manage pull requests, and integrate development tools like CI/CD pipelines and deployment platforms.
How does Origin work with GitHub?
Developers can connect their GitHub repositories to Cursor and view them alongside repos hosted on Origin. Synchronization works both ways—changes pull into Cursor, pull requests sync automatically, and GitHub remains the source of truth for repos created there.
What integrations does Origin currently offer?
Origin is currently integrated with Vercel (for preview deployments in PRs), Depot, and Buildkite (for running CI/CD pipelines). Developers can test changes in previews and merge directly to production.
