I just opened cursor and was presented with a modal dialog with a "Try Origin" button and zero option to dismiss it. Had to nuke the cursor process to get it to go away. At least they didn't show it again at relaunch.
No they were not.
Especially if you were an end user, you wouldn't have been able to tell it wasn't their own model. That exactly isn't being clear nor public.

Cursor has built a code review bot (https://cursor.com/bugbot) which integrates with Github similar to Greptile/Coderabbit. Origin has a feature which imports existing github repos to onboard new users. Automation and cloud agents is self explanatory.
GitHub example shows clearly that service reliability is really overrated. No one is seriously going to leave GitHub because of reliability. Maybe there's some lone power users, but most companies (mine included) don't even discuss it.
Same as Slack: if it down -- it's down, we just wait.
This is a weird comment to make as it presumes there's a real alternative. There is barely any real competition yet. I'm sure Cursor won't be the first to start putting pressure on them.
I wouldn't be surprised if Linear starts pushing further into Github's markets as well. They already have a better diff engine than Github.

I assume it's talking about syncing/migrating from github -> origin? And not that github is hte actual upstream of origin? That would be great though
So they announce this to try and take people away from GitHub, but it also depended on GitHub? Am I reading this irony correctly?
In this field rebranding/rebadging things is very common. Cursor is no stranger, they tried to pass off Kimi 2.5 as their own awhile ago.
Pass off? They fine tuned ann open model and were very clear and public about it.

Title phrasing sounds like Cursor Origin is GitHub's new Git platform.
It's not, the the good old Cursor's (the IDE) new Git platform.
i see how you could say that but absolutely no one is confused
I was confused. The title is bad. “its” is ambiguous and usually refers to the first subject in this sentence structure.
from what i read, its just that lots of old features are integrated tightly with github are affected. that is to be expected right?

Gitlab does exist
i know of at least a few big orgs that had enough and went on prem. and switched off slack even
