# Create an Origin repository

Origin is currently released in early beta. You can create repos, push and pull with git, mirror from GitHub, browse and search code, open and merge pull requests, and share with your Cursor team.

Please submit any and all feedback to [hi@cursor.com](mailto:hi@cursor.com) to help us make the product better.

Create an empty Origin repository from the web UI, or ask a Cursor agent to create one for you. Then clone it and push with git. If the code already lives on GitHub, [mirror the repository](https://cursor.com/docs/origin/mirror-github.md) instead.

## Create in the UI

From [cursor.com/codebase](https://cursor.com/codebase):

1. Select **New**
2. In the **New repo** dialog, enter a **Repo Name** and choose **Internal** or **Private** visibility
3. Select **Create Repo**

After creation, open the repo to copy the clone URL from the green **Code** button and push from your machine.

## Sync from GitHub

To copy an existing GitHub repository into Origin, select **Sync from GitHub** on the codebase home instead of **New**. You choose the GitHub organization and repository, then confirm the sync. See [Mirror a GitHub repository](https://cursor.com/docs/origin/mirror-github.md) for prerequisites, what syncs, and how to detach from GitHub.

## Create with a Cursor agent

Cursor agents can create Origin repositories as part of a task. Ask the agent in Cursor to create a repo on Origin; it can install the [Origin CLI](https://cursor.com/docs/origin/cli.md), sign in, create the repo, set the remote, and push.

Agents use the same permissions as your Cursor account. You need access to Origin code storage for the create to succeed. [Cloud agents](https://cursor.com/docs/origin/integrations.md) can work against existing Origin repositories: clone, branch, commit, push, and open pull requests.

## Name, visibility, and sharing

- Enter a **Repo Name** in the **New repo** dialog
- Choose visibility: **Internal** (visible to anyone with access to your team's codebase) or **Private** (visible only to members granted access directly or through codebase permissions)
- Team access follows your Cursor team / codebase access

Repository **Settings** includes **General**, **Permissions**, **Rules and Protections**, and **Apps**. See [Settings](https://cursor.com/docs/origin/settings.md).

## Push your first commit

After you create an empty repo in the UI, initialize a local project and push:

```bash
git clone https://origin.cursor.com/{owner}/{repo}.git
cd {repo}
# add your files
git add .
git commit -m "Initial commit"
git push -u origin main
```

If you already have a local project:

```bash
cd your-project
git remote add origin https://origin.cursor.com/{owner}/{repo}.git
git push -u origin main
```
