Cursor Origin: SpaceX Attacks GitHub With a Code Platform at a Weak Moment

Trending Topics 1 week ago 48 5 sources

Cursor, now owned by SpaceX, launched Origin, a code hosting platform that competes with GitHub by allowing users to create repositories and manage pull requests directly within the editor while syncing with GitHub as the source of truth. The beta product launched on a day GitHub experienced worldwide outages affecting 50 percent of repository downloads, and includes integrations with deployment and CI tools. The launch gives SpaceX's AI division control over the editor, models, data centers, and code storage, raising questions about data usage and user lock-in that remain unanswered due to missing detailed privacy terms for Origin.
