Cursor Origin

What Cursor Origin is
Cursor Origin is a git forge for storing and sharing code, currently in early beta with access opening in stages. Users can create Origin repositories and use standard Git to clone, push, and pull. They can also mirror GitHub repositories and open, review, and merge pull requests, with views of timelines, commits, checks, and changed files. Teams can browse and search code in a browser, while Cursor agents, automations, and cloud agents can work with Origin repositories.
A command-line tool supports repository creation, cloning, and GitHub mirroring. The public REST API lets apps and tools work with repositories, commits, checks, pull requests, and app installations. Listed integrations include GitHub mirroring and Origin Apps, with Vercel, Depot, and Buildkite available. Origin follows the Privacy Mode of the team or individual that owns a repository namespace. Pro with Origin code storage is $20 a month; Teams is $40 a month. For GitHub mirrors, pushes are rejected because GitHub remains the source of truth. During beta, claimed codebase namespaces cannot be changed or updated.
