Search code across all your repositories and code hosts
A recently published research paper from Google and a Google developer survey showed that 98% of developers consider their Sourcegraph-like internal code search tool to be critical, and developers use it on average for 5.3 sessions each day, primarily to (in order of frequency):
- find example code
- explore/read code
- debug issues
- determine the impact of changes
Sourcegraph code search helps developers perform these tasks more quickly and effectively by providing fast, advanced code search across multiple repositories.
