Cursor Origin: code hosting, GitHub sync, and app integrations in beta
Cursor launched Origin, a code hosting service integrated directly into the editor. Paid-plan users get hosted repos, bidirectional GitHub sync, pull requests, agent access in every repo, and app integrations (Vercel, Depot, Buildkite). Agent-native features are promised but not yet shipped. Entry into a market GitHub has dominated means a new default for Cursor users — every reason to read the docs if your team uses Cursor.
