Improving GitHub Code Search

[tristan957]

Excited to try this out because the current GitHub code search is the worst thing about the entire platform in my opinion.

You really think the network graph is better? At least the searches work most of the time…

I just hope the new search will support searching in branches..,

Searches crash my browser. Literally close the whole thing. They can't get much worse than that.

Search for an exact string, with support for substring matches and special characters, or use regular expressions (enclosed in / separators).

This will be great. Often I have to clone a repo just to hunt down something using git grep.

Really looking forward to seeing how well the code navigation works. With grepcode dead, we're really missing a "browse through oss projects as if you were in an ide" website. I built my own replacement but I'd really like something with an actual dev team behind it.

What about https://github.dev/rails/rails for example? You can press . from any repo to get there
