Cursor just launched Origin. a mini GitHub inside your IDE

hey have u guys seen what Cursor just dropped

they launched Origin. a git based code hosting platform built right inside the Cursor editor. repos, pull requests, code browsing, all without leaving the app. basically a mini GitHub inside your IDE

the timing is wild too. it went live the same day GitHub had that multi hour outage. Actions, API, git ops, Copilot all down. Cursor basically said hey if GitHub keeps breaking we got u

it syncs with GitHub so your mirrored repos stay in sync. pushes still land on GitHub. so its not replacing it yet, more like a backup layer that lives where u already work

its only on Pro, Teams and Enterprise plans. early beta. no public projects or CI yet

my question. would u move your repos to an editor owned git platform? or is that too much lock in for one company controlling your code and your editor?
