Sourcetrail does allow you to select some code block in the graph and have it open up in InteliJ (I don't know about the other way around tho).

- gregorygoc 6y agoI guess I meant: what value does it provide which is not provided by IDEA IDE?
- nine_k 6y agoThe ability to use it when you don't want to run IDEA? Sourcetrail can run on a server, and you can navigate a large codebase from a 10-year old laptop with little RAM. Or you might be using a different IDE for your embedded C codebase. Etc.
- lstamour 6y agoTraversing and displaying code as a graph is indeed the primary use case for Sourcetrail. It's documented at https://www.sourcetrail.com/documentation/ https://www.sourcetrail.com/documentation/ You can also click any part of the code to navigate the graph and vice versa. If you have enough code that this sounds useful, and run a supported language, you'll love it for what it does. And yes, I'm aware that, for Java especially, IDEA has a number of similar code navigation and code graph features. Try both and see which you prefer. :)
