The query language used by Sourcebot has a rich syntax, supporting regular expressions, boolean logic, and search modifiers. This allows devs to find exactly what they are looking for, even in massive codebases.

However, with great power comes… a learning curve 🤓 To make things easier, we added a quick reference guide. Use the hotkey ⌘ + / (ctrl + / on windows) to open the guide:

After finding some code using search, it can be handy to share it with your team to callout a bug, request feedback, roast someone etc.

To address this, we've added 'share links' to easily link to a selection of code.

Highlighting a section of code in the preview window will surface the "Share selection" button. Clicking it will create a link to the file with the selection highlighted.

You can then share this link with your team. Checkout the snippet in the screenshot using this link 🔗 🤠

Sync raw .git repositories

We also added support for any .git repository, regardless if it's hosted in a supported code host. To configure, use the git type in the config.json.
