Thanks for creating Sourcegraph for GitLab https://github.com/sourcegraph/about/blob/master/projects/so... we really appreciate it. Every single developer that used Sourcegraph and talked to me about it loved the product. I think that every code product must have intelligent navigation. I saw you already responded to my tweet in https://twitter.com/sqs/status/1046986755919024129 We're looking forward to add Sourcegra…

Sourcegraph CEO here. :) Thanks for creating GitLab and for the kind words. We're indeed looking forward to adding Sourcegraph to GitLab by default. Look out for a prototype/proposal MR from us in a bit. That's one of the super valuable kinds of features/integrations that we can do now that Sourcegraph is open source!

Yes! There is a `docker run` command that will spin up a Sourcegraph instance for you at https://about.sourcegraph.com/docs/ . The self-hosted Docker (or, for big clusters, Kubernetes) deployment method has been there for about 10 months now, and devs/companies really like it. Making it so easy to self-host Sourcegraph was a big win, and going open-source is another step in that direction. What is new is that you can…

Awesome!! So the Go code intelligence is now free for single devs who are self hosting?

We've been using Sourcegraph at Uber and it has been working pretty well. We saw a performance regression last week with `max` queries but it got fixed fairly quickly (less than a week from reporting to having the fix deployed) Some wishlist things: - would be nice if the query language was better documented (not the GraphQL console, the help section for that is comprehensive) - a coworker had expressed a desire for…

Sourcegraph CEO here. Thanks for the feedback and sorry for the regression! I filed an issue to improve our search docs at https://github.com/sourcegraph/sourcegraph/issues/190 (will fix in the next day or so) and to add multi-line searches at https://github.com/sourcegraph/sourcegraph/issues/191 (this is one of 3 significant search improvements coming in the next few months).

Hey, couple questions for you: - We are a pretty small shop, only 3 developers, and looking at Sourcegraph for the first time. We have a full Kubernetes cluster for running some of our production applications and would be happy to run this there. The Sourcegraph site lists a Quickstart instructions and instructions for Data Center. I am unsure what exactly the difference between them is. - The Docker image for source…

You should definitely use our Quickstart instructions :) You can deploy it to your existing Kubernetes cluster (or any other Docker environment). - The Quickstart instructions[1] describe how to set up a single-machine single-container Sourcegraph instance, which is recommended for small teams. Our Data Center[2] offering is for large teams and runs Sourcegraph across multiple machines in multiple containers for high…

It's too bad that a browser extension is required to make this work. I've asked previously for GitLab to provide the necessary hooks so that any plugin could offer this type of functionality in a first class way, and was told that the proposal lacked a "concrete first need". I suppose SourceGraph has now demonstrated the usefulness of such a thing, which is great! Ref: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/3…
