If you like Claude Code but either (1) prefer an agent that doesn't ask for review on each file edit or (2) miss the IDE for things like reviewing diffs, I'd humbly submit you try …

FYI, you can do that with Cody + Ollama. A good portion of our user community does exactly that: https://sourcegraph.com/blog/local-code-completion-with-olla...

Hi there, Cody contributor here—sorry to hear you had a bad experience! In our evals, our DeepSeek variant outperformed previous models and other alternatives. If it's working wors…

Author of the post here—as another commenter mentioned, this is indeed a bit dated now, someone should probably write an updated post! There's been a ton of evolution in dev tools …

If folks want to continue searching open source, https://sourcegraph.com/search does not require sign in and also includes major projects that are not on GitHub. (Full disclosure: …

Zoekt was heavily inspired by Google's internal code search, as mentioned in the blog post. The original version of the internal code search is described in the rsc post. Zoekt kee…

Great call out! We've built this code navigation infra on top of Zoekt into Sourcegraph. Example: https://sourcegraph.com/github.com/golang/go/-/blob/src/net/... Docs: https://docs…

This was a great listen that really resonated with the approach we've taken in building our code AI tool (Sourcegraph's Cody: https://cody.dev ). We found that the biggest levers w…

Hello, Sourcegrapher here! We are making some simplifications to eliminate the need for the separate local app install. Should be out in the next month or so. Until then, apologies…

Hi there, Sourcegraph CTO here. Code search remains free for individual devs, and I hope you'll continue using us for your projects! https://about.sourcegraph.com/code-search/prici…

Comment #35962859
Hey, I'm the Sourcegraph CTO. Appreciate the critical feedback here. I suspect that Cody is using "keyword context", which is our fallback when we don't have an index on Sourcegrap…

Hopefully it's not just on paper :) There are a lot of rough edges still, but we hope to iron them out as quickly as we can. One of our core design principles for Cody is to make i…

I'll add if folks want to submit a PR to turn on other LLMs (or have Cody talk to the base LLM provider directly, sans Sourcegraph), we're happy to accept those. Literally the only…

Cody is being open sourced under Apache 2. The source code is here: https://sourcegraph.com/github.com/sourcegraph/sourcegraph/-... . The analog would be if GitHub open-sourced Cop…

Comment #35343614
Cody is free to use and doesn't strictly require Sourcegraph. It can make use of Sourcegraph APIs (e.g., code search, soon find refs) to improve its context fetching. We hope to in…

The best way to accelerate this is to bug https://twitter.com/teej_dv on Twitter. Tell him Beyang sent you and that he thinks he can have an Emacs plugin out faster :P

We don't have autocomplete yet, which is what Copilot is mainly used for. But we're working on it, with the same context-aware mechanisms that provide a quality lift on the Q&A sid…

You're a mind-reader! We currently have a notebooks UI (e.g., https://sourcegraph.com/notebooks/Tm90ZWJvb2s6MTg1NA== ), but the plan is to roll Cody into this and make it a super r…

I think you make fantastic points (Sourcegraph CTO, here). This is one of the reasons why we focused on code understanding rather than code generation for the initial version of Co…
