Cursor launches Origin cloud code hosting service to rival GitHub

Cursor has launched Origin, a cloud code hosting service, in its first major product update since the $60 billion SpaceX acquisition.

Origin is accessible through a new tab in Cursor’s desktop client and a dedicated command-line interface. It is built on Git, the repository management tool created by Linux founder Linus Torvalds, and supports branching, which enables development teams to create separate copies of a repository, edit each copy independently and then merge the changes back.

Cursor, which makes one of the industry’s most widely used desktop-based vibe coding tools, offers a GitHub integration that lets developers copy projects into Origin with a few clicks. When an upstream GitHub repository receives an update, the integration syncs the changes to Origin, and it also syncs files in the opposite direction.

Developers can use Cursor’s built-in AI agents to edit code in Origin repositories. The platform provides two types of agents: one runs on the user’s desktop, while the other operates in a cloud-based sandbox and can continue working on long-running coding tasks even when the workstation is powered off.

Origin launches with a pre-packaged connector for Vercel’s application hosting platform, which Cursor said allows teams to quickly spin up test environments for checking new application updates. Connectors for development tools from Depot Technologies and Buildkite are also included. Cursor said more integrations are planned and that it will release unspecified 'agent-native features' in the near future.

The SiliconANGLE report also noted that SpaceX could integrate Origin with Grok Build, a vibe coding tool SpaceX introduced in March, although no such integration has been announced.
