Cursor Starts Competing for GitHub's Job: Origin Officially Launches Beta

According to Dongcha Beating monitoring, Cursor has officially opened its code hosting platform Origin's early Beta, starting to roll out to all paid plans. Users can directly host repositories, manage PRs, browse code on Cursor, and Agents can also directly make changes to code and push branches.

Origin supports syncing existing GitHub repositories and PRs, with comments syncing bidirectionally as well. Projects imported from GitHub will still be primarily hosted on GitHub and do not need to migrate immediately.

In fact, Origin was accidentally exposed last week. Some users got early access, which Cursor later admitted was a mistaken opening and shut down access. Now it has officially launched, with more code hosting features tailored to Agents set to be added.

Coincidentally, about three and a half hours after Origin's release, GitHub suffered a major outage that day. This timing made Cursor's "grab for GitHub's rice bowl" particularly fitting.
