Sourcegraph provides IDE-like tools for GitHub to make code search, browsing and navigating code more delightful. Get multi-repo search, jump to definition, find references, and file tree navigation.
Hey PH,
Matt from Sourcegraph here. The Sourcegraph browser extension gives IDE-like tools to GitHub.
You can download it here: https://chrome.google.com/websto...
With it you can:
- Hover over any symbol for type info and documentation
- Click a symbol to jump to definition and find references (even in other repositories)
- Search for code like you're in an IDE (goodbye GitHub search)
- Navigate repositories with a file tree
Our extension works on both public and private code and you can customize your experience in the options page.
We would love your feedback!
Matt

I find this extension really helpful when exploring unfamiliar code.
Pros:Provides editor like functionality while browsing code on GitHub. Gives you context around GitHub code you wouldn't otherwise have.
Cons:Does not support all languages. Only supports Go, TypeScript, Python, and Java.
