Sourcegraph is also working on a similar service.
Also: unless you've okayed the name with the Git folks, you're going to need to change the name. Git is trademarked, and they are no longer allowing just anyone to use the mark without first seeking permission. (GitHub, GitLab, and others have been grandfathered in.)

- robinshen 9y agoThanks for the Git brand remind. I will check that. Good to see more and more tools are doing this. Instead of browsing code as plain text in repository, it definitely helps to browse code with language aware. One thing GitPlex differing from other similar tools is that you can switch to any revision in repository, and you can still be able to do symbol aware code browsing. While many other tools only parses the head revision (and for other revisions, you need to wait, wait...)
- Viper007Bond 9y agoThe usage of "Plex" also confused me as to what this was.
- robinshen 9y agoNot a native English speaker. In my dictionary "plex" has the meaning of "many things". Also I heard of googleplex. And the software manages many git repositories, so I use the name "GitPlex".
- ComputerGuru 9y agoThere’s a good chance the commenter you replied to meant confusion with Plex the streaming media server, too.
- Viper007Bond 9y agoYep.
- ComputerGuru 9y agoAre you by chance the same viper007bond from wp-hackers I knew 10+ years ago?
- Viper007Bond 9y agoYep, there's only one of me. :)
