Cursor has opened the early beta of Origin, its own home for your code. First shown at Cursor’s Compile conference on June 16, 2026, it’s pitched as a git forge built for a world where AI agents, not only people, write and push much of the code.

What it is

Origin comes from the Graphite team, which Cursor acquired, and was demoed on stage by Graphite co-founder Tomas Reimers. It’s designed around what agent-heavy work looks like: constant clones and pushes, many branches at once, and a lot of merge conflicts.

• Works with standard git tools

• Syncs repositories from GitHub, through new Codebase and Review tabs in Cursor

• Stacked pull requests, carried over from Graphite

• Agents can resolve merge conflicts and fix failing builds

• API and MCP access, so agents can drive it directly

Early numbers

In the launch demo, Origin handled 22.6 commits per second in a single repository and hundreds of thousands of clones per hour.

Availability

Origin is in early beta on Cursor’s paid plans and rolling out in stages. Public documentation is still thin, and questions about pricing and how code is handled remain open.

Our take

GitHub isn’t going anywhere for most teams, and Origin’s two-way sync suggests Cursor sees it as a layer on top rather than a replacement. Still, reviewing and merging changes quickly is exactly where today’s tools feel slow, so it’s one to watch.
