It is very exciting to see GitHub working on code intelligence features for open source.
Many folks are asking how this compares to Sourcegraph, so just thought I'd mention if you like this, you will probably like the Sourcegraph browser extension (https://docs.sourcegraph.com/integration/browser_extension https://docs.sourcegraph.com/integration/browser_extension). It provides:
* jump-to-def
* find-refs
* documentation tooltips
* fast, quality code search
* an open plugin API (https://sourcegraph.com/extensions https://sourcegraph.com/extensions)
with:
* high (in some cases, compiler-level) precision
* across many languages
and supports many code hosts:
* GitHub
* GitHub Enterprise
* GitLab
* Bitbucket Server
* Gitolite
* AWS CodeCommit
* generic git servers
for:
* public code
* private code
* on-prem private code
and:
* the source code is open
* there's a public issue tracker: https://github.com/sourcegraph/sourcegraph https://github.com/sourcegraph/sourcegraph
