We built Sourcegraph, which is a web-based code search and navigation tool. Our Python support is in beta, and you can try it out at https://sourcegraph.com/github.com/plotly/dash/-/blob/dash/dash.py#L26:9$references https://sourcegraph.com/github.com/plotly/dash/-/blob/dash/d.... (And hit Alt+D/Opt+D to search by symbol.) Sourcegraph also supports a bunch of other languages: https://sourcegraph.com/help/languages https://sourcegraph.com/help/languages. It gives you nice URLs (hit Alt+Y/Opt+Y to get the full commit ID in the URL to make it permanent). Would love to hear your feedback.

I just spent a few minutes clicking around but had a bit of trouble. EDIT: nevermind, most of this is due to the fact that you have to keep "repo" in the search box, which I found confusing. I quickly found the repo I wanted, but discovered that C/C++ isn't supported, so Woboq is more useful to me at the moment. I tried to build something like this once myself, and made the mistake of going "wide" rather than "deep". That is, trying to support all languages. I think it does make sense to try to get the absolute best experience for one language. But yeah for now since C/C++ aren't supported, it's not useful for me. ------ I typed "cpython" in the search box on https://sourcegraph.com/ https://sourcegraph.com/ and got no results. (I also typed "python" and got no results, which seems pretty odd.) I would have liked to browse this repo: https://github.com/python/cpython https://github.com/python/cpython I guess you have to import repositories yourself? There seem to be sample repositories, but they are in Go, and I'm interested in C/C++ (the Python interpreter, not Python source code). I'm looking for something that uses Clang as a back end for intelligent navigation of C/C++ projects. Also, I would like to browse the bash source code, but as far as I know it isn't available on Github. Can SourceGraph import from an arbitrary git repo? https://savannah.gnu.org/git/?group=bash https://savannah.gnu.org/git/?group=bash That said I'm glad somebody is working on this problem! I like your mission statement.

  Thanks for posting this. We'll think about how we can make that search UX clearer. And when we have C/C++ support, I hope you'll find it super useful.
