Is code intelligence a paid upgrade for all languages?

Yes, code intelligence (go-to-definition, find references, hovers, etc.) on Sourcegraph Server is a paid upgrade for all languages. But you can try/use it for free on open-source projects using our Chrome extension (to get it on code you view on GitHub) at https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/sourcegraph-for-gi... or on our public site directly at https://sourcegraph.com/github.com/gorilla/websocket/-/blob/... (…

Chrome extension is marvellous for anyone who hasn't used it. Particularly useful for looking up docs of calls to external packages in Python repos.

What is the License for the free install ? MIT/BSD/Apache ?

Here are the terms: https://about.sourcegraph.com/terms/

I note with some distaste that it includes an Oracle-esque prohibition on benchmarking.

Why should we use this instead of the github search (for our private repos) ?

Our users prefer Sourcegraph over GitHub for code search for multiple reasons: - Regular expression searches - Exact searches (no ignoring punctuation, for example) - Searches on any commit or branch, not just recently indexed master - Diff searches (see https://about.sourcegraph.com/blog/introducing-sourcegraph-s... ) - Overall faster, more powerful searches and filtering capabilities - Code intelligence (go-to-defi…

Sourcegraph CEO here. That shouldn’t be in there, I agree—we meant to remove that section. It will be removed in a couple of minutes. Please try it, use it, and post lots of evaluations about our product. :)

We just removed that clause (also replied to your other comment about it). Didn’t intend for it to be in there; I agree it’s silly. Thanks for pointing it out.

GitHub search is pretty useless if you want to rely on it to find all uses of a given word, say during a refactorization

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/43891605/search-partial-...

So, you end up having to clone all repos locally and grep for the word.

Just pointing out that limitation of search in GitHub, not saying that this other tool is actually reliable to do this kind of things (I haven't used it before)

I mean honestly if you are happy with github search you should stay where you are. Personally, I find it to be absolutely horrendous. It’s so much faster to clone the repo and search it locally.

Why is that so?
