Sourcegraph is a fast and featureful code search and navigation engine.

Features

• Fast global code search with a hybrid backend that combines a trigram index with in-memory streaming.
• Code intelligence for many languages via the Language Server Index Format.
• Enhances GitHub, GitLab, Phabricator, and other code hosts and code review tools via the Sourcegraph browser extension.
• Integration with third-party developer tools via the Sourcegraph extension API.

Sourcegraph has three editions:

• Sourcegraph Cloud lets you search over the open-source ecosystem plus your private code. Search strings, search patterns, search symbols and find references across your entire codebase and the open-source world.
• Sourcegraph Enterprise lets you run your own Sourcegraph instance in your own environment.
• Sourcegraph OSS is an open-source version of Sourcegraph that provides the core functionality of Sourcegraph (code search, code browsing, basic code navigation), but lacks more advanced features (enterprise authentication, repository permissions, admin controls, advanced code navigation, etc.)

Source code for all three editions is contained in this repository. See the License section for more details.

More:

• Install the open-source browser extension to add Sourcegraph-like powers to your code review and code host.
• File feature requests and bug reports in our issue tracker.
• Visit about.sourcegraph.com for more information about features, use cases, and organizations that use Sourcegraph.

The fastest way to run Sourcegraph self-hosted is with the Docker container. See the quickstart installation guide. There are also several additional ways of running a production instance.

1. Install dependencies
2. Clone this repository
3. Install sg
4. Ensure Docker is running
5. Initialize the PostgreSQL database
6. Configure the HTTPS reverse proxy
7. Start the development server

   sg start oss

Sourcegraph should now be running at https://sourcegraph.test:3443.

For detailed instructions and troubleshooting, see the local development documentation.
