> This incident affected: Automations, Review Agents, Cloud Agents, and Origin.
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.
When it's working is it any good? I can't find much info.
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?
If you read the status page:

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.

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