SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Git operations against Cursor-hosted repositories at origin.cursor.com fail when the origin CLI is missing, outdated, or unauthenticated, and diagnosing these failures manually is time-consuming. ## Core Features & Use Cases - CLI Installation and Detection: Detects whether the origin binary is on PATH or at ~/.local/bin/origin and installs it via the official install script when missing. - Authentication Setup: Runs origin auth login to configure the git credential helper for origin.cursor.com so git push and pull work without extra setup. - Failure Recovery: Maps common failure signatures such as authentication errors, missing namespaces, and stuck browser logins to concrete fixes. - Use Case: A developer clones a Cursor-hosted repo and git push fails with an authentication error; the skill checks auth status, re-runs login, and retries the push. ## Quick Start Set up the origin CLI and sign me in so I can clone and push to my Cursor-hosted repository.

FAQPage Schema
How do I install the origin CLI for Cursor-hosted repos?▼

Install the origin CLI by running the official installer: curl -fsSL https://downloads.cursor.com/origin/install.sh | sh. It verifies the download checksum and symlinks the binary to ~/.local/bin/origin, which you can invoke by absolute path if it is not yet on PATH.

How do I fix git push authentication failed for origin.cursor.com?▼

Run origin auth status to check your session, then origin auth login to re-authenticate, and retry the git command. The login configures the git credential helper for origin.cursor.com so subsequent push and pull operations work automatically.

Does the origin CLI work on Windows?▼

The origin CLI supports macOS and Linux, including WSL. Native Windows outside WSL is not supported for Origin repo operations, so use WSL or another supported platform instead of attempting a Windows install.

Why does origin repo create fail with a missing namespace error?▼

This error means the account has no Origin namespace configured. For team users, a team admin must set up the namespace at cursor.com/codebase; retrying the command in the same session will not resolve it.

What should I do when origin auth login never completes?▼

The login command waits for the browser step to finish, so ask the user to complete it or re-run the command. In headless or SSH sessions, the CLI prints a login URL to open manually instead of launching a browser.
