Origin is Cursor's new code hosting platform, built for a world where humans and coding agents work side by side. Create and host Git repos directly in Cursor, browse and search code, open and review pull requests, manage access, and sync with GitHub. Your code now lives next to the agents working on it—with more agent-native features on the way.
It would be very wise to also integrate with ATprotocol for the social layer, then 3rd party developers could build on top of the platform in a way that is not possible with github. Check out: https://tangled.org
@GitHub down earlier this week, the timing is perfect.
Eleven launches in and you are still taking the hard route. Congrats on building a whole Git forge instead of another editor feature. That is a lot of work for a company that could coast.
Love the new beta stacked feature in github, as long as you dont need to rebase :D. How does this stacked feature in the new cursor origin compare?
My entire codebase is now officially cursor-native: cursor + grok-bot + origin and bugbot
Really cool. Congrats on the launch, Justin. Most of what my team ships internally is agent-written now and the review step is the part that hasn't caught up, so that's where I'll be testing this.
Love that Origin puts the repo right next to the agents working on it instead of treating agent workflows as an afterthought bolted onto a human-first forge.
Excited to see this launch, team! Definitely arrives at a necessary time.
We're working on an integration to allow automatic deployments of sites and functions on Appwrite from Origin, would love to connect with any relevant engineering/DevRel team members about the same.
