OctoLinker VS sourcegraph

GitHub Repo | Chrome Store | Website

OctoLinker is a GitHub browser extension that converts language-specific statements such as include, require, or import into links. It is packed with the capability to connect dependencies defined in files such as package.json, composer.json, Gemfile, or requirements.txt to their corresponding GitHub project page.

Respository - OctoLinker

The OctoLinker enables easy navigation between project codes, transforming language-specific instructions (such as include, require or import) into links that redirect to the file referenced in the code or to an external site.

Sourcegraph is a code AI platform that makes it easy to read, write, and fix code–even in big, complex codebases.

We are building Cody, an AI coding assistant that uses code search and code intelligence to help devs quickly understand what's happening in code and generate new code that matches the best practices in your codebase. Cody supports AI-enabled autocompletion, fixing bugs, refactoring, test generation, code explanation, and answering high-level questions. You can read Steve Yegge's post on why Cody's code context engine differentiates it from the fast-moving field of AI dev tools: https://about.sourcegraph.com/blog/cheating-is-all-you-need.

That's pretty much what https://sourcegraph.com/ are selling, is it not?

- https://sourcegraph.com is pivoting and building a copilot application (named Cody). This is pretty good, since sourcegraph is great at understanding your code

While a readable Dockerfile can work as documentation, there are a few caveats:

* the application needs to be designed to work outside containers (so, no hardcoded URLs, ports, or paths). Also, not directly related to containers, but it's nice if it can be easily compiled in most environments and not just on the base image.

* I still need a way to notify me of updates; if the Dockerfile just wgets a binary, this doesn't help me.

* The Dockerfiles need to be easy to find. Sourcegraph's don't seem to be referenced from the documentation, I had to look through their Github repos to find https://github.com/sourcegraph/sourcegraph/tree/main/docker-... (though most are bazel scripts instead of Dockerfiles, but serve the same purpose)

We use Sourcegraph, which is a tool that searches through code in repositories. We leverage this tool in order to understand the adoption curve of our components across all of Reddit. We have a dashboard for each of the platforms to compare the inclusion of RPL components over legacy components. These insights are helpful for us to make informed decisions on how we continue to drive RPL adoption. We love seeing the green line go up and the red line go down!

https://github.com/sourcegraph/sourcegraph/commit/3cd931ef54... has some additional information, but not a lot.

https://github.com/sourcegraph/sourcegraph/issues/53528#issu... appears to be a comment from someone in the project laying out why they've changed.

As a general rule with open source projects it basically depends on whether they had a contributor licence agreement.

Sourcegraph appear to have had one:

https://github.com/sourcegraph/sourcegraph/blob/main/CONTRIB...

So presumably they nailed this down.

Exactly my thoughts. I am using the Homebrew version of Sourcegraph, which I presume to be quite dead [1]. I do this because there was no packaged version of the Sourcegraph OSS. I would happily use the OSS version instead otherwise.
