A better way to search, navigate, and understand code on GitHub
Blog post from GitHub
GitHub has introduced a new code search and navigation feature designed to enhance developer productivity by making it easier to search, navigate, and understand code across vast repositories. This new tool comes with an advanced search interface on GitHub.com, offering suggestions, completions, and filtering options by various dimensions like repository and language. Built from scratch with a focus on performance, the search engine uses powerful qualifiers and expressions to deliver results in milliseconds, effectively prioritizing relevant results. Additionally, the redesigned code view integrates browsing and navigation, featuring a file tree to provide context and facilitate easier exploration of codebases. This initiative follows a technology preview phase with substantial developer feedback, emphasizing the tool's importance in daily workflows, and aims to continue improving through user input.
