About
Origin is Cursor's code hosting service, announced in the Cursor changelog on 17 August 2026 and rolling out in early beta. It adds a Codebase tab where users create repositories, push code through a CLI, and browse code hosted by Cursor. For Origin-hosted repos, Origin is the source of truth and GitHub is not in the push path.
Existing GitHub repositories can be synced into Origin. Users pick which repos to sync and can disconnect them at any time. For synced repos GitHub remains the source of truth, and Origin mirrors changes in real time. Pull requests show the timeline, commits, checks and changed files. Comments and reactions sync both ways with GitHub, and reviews can be done and merged from Cursor.
Cursor agents are available inside every repo: they can answer questions about the code being browsed, make changes, update PRs or push a branch. Integrations are available for Vercel (preview deployments per PR) and for CI through Depot and Buildkite, which run existing GitHub Actions workflows. Agent-native features are described as coming later.
Origin is available in early beta on paid plans, except enterprise organisations whose admins opt out. The scope is currently basic (repos, PRs, browsing, GitHub sync), so it is an early-stage product.
