Cursor's Origin: New GitHub Competitor by Elon Musk's Co.

Cursor, a coding tool, has launched a new product called Origin, directly competing with GitHub. Origin began rolling out in early beta to all paid Cursor plans on Monday. Here's the thing: Cursor, which is now part of Elon Musk’s empire after SpaceX acquired its parent company Anysphere, has always been an editor that works with existing code repositories. But with Origin, Cursor will now host the actual code itself. Origin allows users to create new repositories with built-in pull requests. What's interesting is how Origin handles existing GitHub repositories. Users can connect their GitHub account and sync repositories into Origin. These synced repositories update in real-time. Pushes still go to GitHub, which Cursor treats as the source of truth for those repos. Pull requests sync in both directions. This means developers can now manage and review their code directly within Cursor, even if the original repository is on GitHub.
