GitHub degradation affects Cursor Origin, its new Git platform

Cursor has launched Origin, a new cloud code hosting and collaboration platform for paid users. This major update follows Cursor's $60 billion sale to SpaceX Corp. The rollout coincided with a significant GitHub degradation lasting six hours and forty-two minutes, which affected Copilot and API error rates. While the events are unrelated, Origin allows teams to store repositories and deploy to Vercel. The platform aims to compete with GitHub by providing essential infrastructure for AI-driven vibe coding tools.
