repo VS zoekt

The button on the browser just navigates to the URL `git-peek://https://github.com/name/repo`. How your system handles this git-peek protocol is completely up to you. While the git-peek package does offer to setup a handler for this custom git-peek protocol, I went ahead and set it up manually. Now, my system calls this bash script whenever it encounters the git-peek protocol:

  #!/usr/bin/env bash

You just clone the repository onto that computer with git clone https://github.com/name/repo. It should work automatically

I have a /home/.ssh/ directory, with id_rsa and id_rsa.pub inside, and I think that's the reason i don't have to manually authenticate, however every post i found about how to use this method also explains that i have to associate the key with my account or repo on github, which i haven't done (at least, when i go to my github setting there's aren't any SSH keys registered), and to use SSH-compatible URLs for my repos, which i'm not doing neither (i'm just using the very normal https ones, like https://github.com/name/repo).

you can install a package with git like using pip install git+https://github.com/name/repo

Russ Cox' trigram approach uses document IDs for the posting list, which makes the index much smaller, but gives less precise (ie. slower) matching. This is mentioned in the design doc at https://github.com/sourcegraph/zoekt/blob/main/doc/design.md....

https://github.com/sourcegraph/zoekt seems to be doing a fair but of heavy lifting for Cody.

What is a good open-source system for code search if I want to plug 100 or so git repos into it and have it available over the web? GH search is not desirable because it would search too broadly and would not cover repos on Gitlab etc.

I looked at the Debian code search [1] in the past, but for some reason thought it required a bit too much effort and didn't complete my investigation of it. Though [2] looks pretty approachable.

Sourcegraph mentioned Zoekt [3], but I am not sure how usable it is. If it was pretty good, why did Sourcegraph OSS exist?

Finally, from all the discussion how Sourcegraph OSS was very behind in the past few years, I guess there is no serious plan to fork it?
