Cursor capitalizes on Github frustration, launches rival hosting platform
Cursor’s new Origin platform is built to host code while syncing with GitHub repos.
Origin lets developers browse, edit, store repositories, and manage pull requests inside Cursor’s environment. Cursor says GitHub repositories can sit alongside Origin-hosted ones, with syncing available after connecting a GitHub organization. The launch landed as GitHub faced renewed complaints over outages, including a six-hour global degradation cited in the piece. GitHub remains the dominant host, with the article citing 180 million developers on the platform. TechCrunch AI's note
