GitHub degradation affects Cursor Origin, its new Git platform

djfdat

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.

So they announce this to try and take people away from GitHub, but it also depended on GitHub? Am I reading this irony correctly?

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

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.

from what i read, its just that lots of old features are integrated tightly with github are affected. that is to be expected right?

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.
