Let's take a look at Cursor Origin. Now,

Cursor has made a their own Git program

for reasons I don't really understand.

What I do know is that Cursor believed

that Git was made for a previous era

where you were essentially dealing with

like human-scale pushing and pull

request handling and all that. And in

the agentic era, these agents are

pushing up thousands of commits every

microsecond. One thing which is amazing

is that I cannot scroll on this page.

So, this is Is there a link to a blog

post or anything? Cursor Origin blog.

Cursor Origin origin. How about that?

So, hopefully I can I've already started

recording, man. Hopefully I can access

this. Taking a huge gamble on recording

this video. It didn't work out

yesterday. Where is the blog post?

27-minute read. You know what? Going to

open up Claude here, summarize the heck

out of this. The problem is that Git is

distributed by design, but everyone

actually depends on a centralized host.

And hosting Git at scale is brutal. The

question that I'm trying to figure out

is Is that Is it useful for people like

you and me who are only pushing at most

a couple dozen times a day. Okay,

objects live in pack files, compressed

delta-encoded blobs with no relationship

between Okay, boring. Every operation

means a random Okay, boring. What's in

it for me as a struggling solo

entrepreneur or dev? Honestly, very

little, and it's worth being clear about

that. This post is infrastructure

marketing aimed at companies with mono

repos, hundreds of CI runners, and a

platform team that already resents their

Git host. So, it's for people that hate

GitHub, which is increasing in numbers.

If you're solo, GitHub's free tier will

outlast your startup continent of cells

problems you would be lucky to have.

Wow, thank you. I've heard enough. Let's

try to access it. Browse your repos on

Origin. Is mobile available?

I owe. Sync from GitHub. So, it looks

like it's says sync. Let's go to code.

Okay, so it's got my code here. Let's do

some work. GitHub is rate limiting

requests. Please Let's again later. Wow.

So, I do have a problem with Ship

Academy right now. I switched the

pricing model a little bit, and so what

I'm hearing is that annual discount

codes are not working. I don't use cloud

environments, to be clear. Every little

job you do has to bootstrap a VM and

clone your repo and set up dependencies.

Whereas, on my computer, everything's

already set up ready to go. I get stuff

done in like half the time, if not less.

Okay, so this is it. This is Origin. It

actually looks exactly like GitHub,

which which is good because you want it

to look familiar. So, the question is

what is the point of this? Let's create

an automation, scheduled. Let's create a

daily automation. Add trigger. Run the

test suite. Okay, we have a little

automation. I'm curious to get a pull

request going. Check out a new feature

branch and make an all new revision of

the homepage copy and even insulting the

viewers' lack of intelligence at their

inability to ship and market properly.

Make fun of Vibe Coders for being

at marketing in a way that still

converts. Watch I actually keep this.

Oh, here we go. Oh, yeah. Let's see.

Your app is good. Nobody knows it

exists. You shipped it. You tweeted

once. You got four users, and three of

them were you on different browsers. The

code was never the problem. The problem

is that you have no idea how to make

anyone want this, and you've been

calling that someone else's job. Uh,

that's lame. Vibe Coders can't sell.

That's the whole story. An agent will

write you a working product this

afternoon. This copy sucks. It's not

funny. This is ass. Save to review.

Let's submit. Avoid that's the whole X,

which is ugly AI speak. Here submitting

agent prompt. Tour, what is tour? Oh,

artifact essentially. Ah, so it kind of

summarizes the code into a whole

document, dude. Now, for every line of

change, you can have a little summary

telling you what it does. The tricky

part is that you have to now review the

summary and make sure it's it's correct.

It's probably correct. This is a lot

more work, actually. Reading these

tours. Now, I have to read this and I

still have to read the code. And it

already has comments. Let's create a new

repository that is purely origin. Let's

do a G stack review website. I've been

meaning to check out G stack, honestly.

I hear G stack is basically AGI. Create

a new simple vanilla landing page where

we sell G stack consulting services

using Garry Tan's G stack

What What is it called? G stack

coagulation of words. I don't I don't

know what to call it. This is actually a

satirical website. Nobody knows what G

stack actually is, but it's provocative.

Gets vibe coders going. Okay, who do we

think is going to be the funniest model

here? Grok? Let's go for it. Install the

Cursor Origin CLI. I don't know what

Cursor Origin CLI is. I don't want to

guess and install the wrong thing. Wow,

that's rude. I mean, look it up, bro.

Jesus Christ. My mistake, it's real.

Cursor Origin is their Git Forge. I'll

test the page and record a walk-through

video. Desktop? Whoa, what is this? Oh,

I can see it. Oh, that's really cool. I

can see it working on a computer. I'm

using Origin, not Git. Can you check out

the other feature branch? Wait, what?

You could use Git here? Oh, this this

looks This would convert, dude. I am not

going to lie, this would convert people.

G stack is my answer. We onboard your

entire team onto G stack. We will not

tell you what G stack is. You will ship

800 times harder anyway. Give me GLM. I

need Perplexity to Nobody knows what G

stack is. That is the product. I'm not

Garry Tan. I'm the person you hire

because you read Garry Tan. G stack is a

coagulation of words. This is complete

gibberish. Maybe it's

just channeling G stack. We sell

onboarding. The results are a side

effect of belief. What are you saying? G

stack is a process not a collection of

tools. We charge as if it were both. I

mean, it's beautiful. It really is, but

it's just I don't know why it's not

making any sense. This is the copy. This

is the stack. This is the spell. Let me

ask Claude, how were you able to use

Git? I thought origin was its own thing.

Origin isn't a separate tool. It's just

a default nickname Git gives. Bro,

that's not what I meant. It's just a

default nickname Git gives to a remote

repository. No,

I meant Cursor's origin product. I don't

have reliable knowledge about a Cursor

product called origin. Google it, bro.

Origin is Cursor's code hosting

platform. Origin is Git hosting.

Origin is Git? What? It stores repos,

handles PRs, code review, and

bidirectional GitHub sync, but

underneath it speaks standard Git over

HTTPS. Was that clear? Like, did I miss

something? Oh, I mean, the title says

Git at any scale. So, it's Git hosting.

That's what it is. Bro, I don't know why

I thought it was its own thing. It's a

GitHub competitor, not a Git competitor.

You guys are going to call me stupid. I

just haven't looked into it. It's my

first time looking into it. I just saw a

bunch of tweets over the past couple

weeks. I got annoyed that I had to learn

something new. I was like, what is this?

And I you know, I didn't know. So, we're

learning together here. It's a hosting

competitor. Same Git push, same pack

files. I wonder how many of you are

watching this in so much pain watching

me struggle to figure out that

origin is just Git. So, basically,

Cursor is wants to be the entire IDE

end-to-end for software development.

They want the code editor. They want the

agents. They want the hosting, and they

want the AI assistant. They have

Grokbot. You combine all these together.

I think if you are in the Cursor

ecosystem, then this will be a huge

productivity gain because the

integration will be so tight. It's like

if you're an Apple user, you're going to

benefit from having an iPhone and a

MacBook. Everything in one place has

always been a selling point, no matter

what product category you're in. That's

going to do it. We've gone on long

enough. Just wanted to explore Origin a

little bit. We went a little detour,

explored all of Cursor's cloud

offerings. As always, if you are

watching this on X or YouTube, you're

watching a much shorter video that I've

compressed for your attention spans. If

you want the longer video where I do a

much more in-depth overview, head over
