Sourcegraph : An Open-Source Source Code Search Engine


One of the most challenging exercises when it comes to coding, is to remember a code you have used some time ago...but alas you can’t figure it out this time! What makes it frustrating is that you have built something on your own, where you have used a lot of time, now because of memory loss, you can’t simply remember how you did it!

Well today we’re presenting Sourcegraph to our ICT students. Sourcegraph is a free, open-source, self-hosted code search and intelligence server that helps developers find, review, understand, and debug code. Use it with any Git code host for teams of any size. Start using it now, then install the Sourcegraph Docker image on your private code.

Search in files and diffs on your private code using simple terms, regular expressions, and other filters. Syncs repositories with your code host and supports searching any commit/branch, with no indexing delay.
One can use it on a browser too as an extension (Firefox or Chrome).
