    Hi all, my name is Tomas. I am one of the developers on Origin, and I was one of the founders of Graphite (https://graphite.com).

    Happy to answer any questions about Origin or source control in general!

    is there a way to browse a repository on origin without a cursor account? are all repos private? how is this a github alternative if so?

      Currently Origin repositories are private to members of a Cursor team. Over time we plan to expand access, but wanted to start with a limited beta of the underlying git tech.

    How about an original and distinguishable name?

    Then again, what did I expect from a company named cursor.

      This is a great name! It ties back to git nicely (git pull origin/main), and sounds human.

      Cursor was also a great name given that it evolved into an advanced AI assisted auto complete. I think their team does a solid job with naming.

        Then google the names and look what comes up.

        Without additional search terms you get the wrong results.

        A word that is already used in computer is a bad name.

        And with AI it won’t get better. Ambiguity is a source of confusion and mistakes.

        By your logic pull/push/main are also great names.

        One main purpose of a name is distinguishability.

    Let's see how strong GitHub's network effect really is.

    While the real solution is to actually self-host as I said before [0], it is worth testing to see how much can GitHub's users tolerate the endless outages and unreliability and where they go next.

    We'll see if they want Cursor Origin or the declining GitHub.
