Cursor launched its own code hosting on the same day GitHub had an outage. The timing is the hook, but the product boundary is more useful.
Origin puts repositories, pull requests, code browsing, and agents in one place, with Vercel, Depot, and Buildkite integrations. An agent can answer questions about the current repo, change code, update a PR, or push a branch.
It is an early beta rolling out to paid plans. For repositories synced from GitHub, pushes still go to GitHub and GitHub remains the source of truth. The real shift is not “GitHub is dead.” It is that code hosting is being redesigned around agents.

The source-side engagement is only a discovery signal. It is not this article's performance, and no product or model was independently benchmarked for this post.
