Searching code with Sourcegraph

What problem does it solve?

This Skill eliminates the manual, time-consuming process of searching for code across vast, distributed repositories. It helps you quickly pinpoint specific implementations, understand cross-project dependencies, and identify code patterns without sifting through countless files.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Cross-Repository Search: Search code across all your configured repositories, not just local files.
• Pattern & API Usage Analysis: Find examples of API usage, specific functions, or complex code patterns.
• Security Auditing: Quickly locate potential security issues like hardcoded credentials or vulnerable patterns.
• Use Case: You need to refactor a deprecated function. Use this Skill to instantly find every instance of that function across your entire organization's codebase, saving days of manual searching.

Quick Start

Simple text search across all repos

src search 'PATTERN'

Search for a Go function in a specific repository

src search 'repo:github.com/org/repo$ lang:go func handleRequest'

Find all TODOs, excluding test files

src search 'TODO -file:test'
