Today, programmers worldwide collectively experienced an “absurd drama.”
At 9:40 a.m. Eastern Time, GitHub went completely down, taking Copilot offline with it.
For a full 7 hours (with core services paralyzed for 3 hours), developers were completely stalled—unable to pull code, unable to use AI...
Coincidentally, on this very day, Cursor officially declared war on GitHub!
After formally integrating into SpaceXAI, the original team launched a brand-new code hosting platform called Origin.
What is Origin? Quick highlights:
Positioning: A Git code hosting platform specifically designed for the Agent era, deeply integrated with the Cursor editor
Core capabilities: Stacked PRs, merge queues, machine-readable review status, MCP protocol support, event-driven automation
Compatibility: Bidirectional real-time sync with GitHub—existing workflows remain unchanged
