Description
Origin is Cursor's new code hosting platform, built for a world where humans and coding agents work side by side. Create and host Git repos directly in Cursor, browse and search code, open and review pull requests, manage access, and sync with GitHub. Your code now lives next to the agents working on it—with more agent-native features on the way.

Could you build this?
No Building a full-scale Git forge (like GitHub or GitLab) requires deep distributed systems engineering for Git storage, packfile negotiation, SSH/HTTPS git-smart protocol servers, and rock-solid branch consistency.
What it would actually take: A Git forge requires implementing a custom Git smart-protocol daemon or orchestrating libgit2/Gitaly nodes with raft-based consensus (like Praefect) to safely shard and replicate Git repositories. The platform demands complex access control, scalable blob storage, diff calculation engines, and real-time sync adapters to external forges like GitHub. This requires experienced distributed systems and infrastructure engineers.
