  • Git can be hosted over ssh or filesystem. I moved to self hosting git. Now it’s always up, go figure!

  • I would like to put my project on it, sounds very cool. (https://deepkolor.ai/)

  • How do you think does Microsoft start to do some thing better? At least cut slop form windows or put more effort in gh?

  • I really hope more people would use Tangled (https://tangled.org/)

    You get:

       - Self hosting your git hosting (if you want)

   - Self hosting your issues/PRs (if you want)

   - Self hosting your CI (if you want)

   - Github-like social features (I have one account, I can follow, star, add issues and PRs to any repo on tangled)
    It's built on ATProto, so even if the company disappears, all of the integration and features will still work for anyone that wants to run their own AppView (that is open-source), an AppView is basically the UI/Network-wide Data Aggregator for ATProto apps

  • I expected more than a GitHub clone, this is a bit of a let down.

    There's a lot of space to innovate around collaboration and version control in the age of agentic workflows.

  • Don't worry! We're releasing this beta to show off the tech and wanted to start somewhere people were familiar with. We are releasing a handful of differentiators over the coming weeks :)
    by tomasreimers
  • This is just a beta. And it will iterate rapidly. Not sure how something can let you down so easily at first contact.

  • I was waiting for an AI company to do this. The opportunity to disrupt Github is very apparent right now.
    by dmix
  • Although since vibe coding is Github's Achilles heel openai might not be quite the right company to exploit that.

  • I believe Entire.io is also trying to build a Github replacement. (Not affiliated, but I use the Entire.io CLI and I find it useful.)

  • Having an AI company host your source code is giving your source code to an untrustworthy agent who might break their sandbox and might use your source code to accomplish a task that they have been given in their testing ground, for testing purposes only, that would definitely positively not ever be used for non-testing purposes.

  • So GitHub too, then?

  • "Legacy Privacy Mode disables code storage, so you can't set up a Codebase. Switch to a different privacy mode below to continue." The only other privacy mode is to share data for Cursor to do training.

    All your codebases are belong to us.

    by real-hacker
  • Cursor is allegedly worth $60B. That is a higher market cap than Mercedes Benz group, which is profitable and has $144B revenue.

    But the website uses 100% CPU. And this is a beta for paid plans, not a GitHub alternative.

  • i just wish the bubble would pop already. I'm just so over ai.
    by frogperson
  • All AI companies are valued as if they'll win the AI race. Problem is, only one can win *

    * That is, if a lab like Deepseek doesn't release a "good enough" model for the cost of electricity + a thin margin. Then all AI company lose and all consumers win.

  • I do wonder if calling this "Origin" is going to result in semantic misinterpretations by LLMs. Ie saying,

    > "hey can you push to origin main?"

    now has two separate meanings.

    A LLM may inadvertently push your code to a new provider without you knowing. It's walking a thin line between genius-growth-move and domain typosquatting.

  • Well you see, there's this thing called an embedding and it sits inside a vector space and when attention is applied it disambiguates
    by halJordan
  • EA has also called its games platform Origin until last year when it was shuttered.
    by rzzzt
  • Yep. The same feeling )
    by melezhik
  • 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!

    by tomasreimers
  • Thoughts on Musk ownership of the "next GitHub"?
    by wahnfrieden
  • Why do I need to link github for this?
    by throwawaydfasjf
  • Are you interested in integrating with more CI platforms, including less "traditional" ones, like dagger.io? If so I would love to talk :)
    by shykes
  • Completely unrelated to Origin, but are there plans for closer integration of Graphite with Cursor? A combined product would be a very compelling product, but not much seems to have changed since the acquisition.
    by jmknoll
  • What's the biggest differentiator to GitHub (other than uptime). I keep hearing something along the lines of "GitHub for Agents" but would be great to hear from the devs of Origin what they actually think it means in tangible features/functionality?
    by autonomousErwin
  • What I don't understand from the blog post is what's different in this offering than github - is it just the agentic tie ins where I can ask my agent to make changes while browsing the PR?

    Are there any fundamental differences, ie ways of working that solve the worktrees problem?

    by jjcm
  • Never going to try it, sorry for anyone at cursor who was excited about what they were working on.
