sourcegraph-release-train VS mozsearch

License was changed almost 3 weeks ago, 5.1.0 release blog post skips this information. There's still no official announcement.

It seems like the author of Sourcegraph OSS containers announced that his release train is now dead

- code browsing is primitive compared to https://searchfox.org/ (but most code browsing tool are, in comparison)

- my notifications are completely flooded by lots of useless information on GitHub, but that might be fixable

- our CI system (treeherder/taskcluster) scales, works on Linux/Mac/windows/Android and a bunch of version and arch, integrated with all of the other tools mentioned. Things such as auto-running tests based on the content of the patch, automatic categorization and prioritization of intermittent test failures, or auto-recording test failures and offering a pernosco recording showing the issue are just some of the features that we use daily without even thinking

All the time. I would say at least 50% of my code browsing is done from my phone. I make heavily use of the mobile GitHub web interface for this (find-references support has been a godsend, search is still meh, I hate how they keep breaking basic find-in-page with SPA jank). Also Searchfox [0] when I need to comb through Firefox code (fast, excellent, no complaints).

Context: grad student, programming languages and systems research plus a bunch of IoT hacking on my own time. Either elder Gen Z or youngest possible Millennial, depending where you put the cutoff.

[0] https://searchfox.org

[4] is not really a usable 'product'. Livegrep (https://github.com/livegrep/livegrep) was inspired by it and is very usable.

[3] used to be a Google open source project as well, but it fell out of maintenance, and Sourcegraph took it over. It powers most of the basic regex/literal search in Sourcegraph.

Mozilla's code is searchable in Searchfox (https://searchfox.org/) which uses the indexer from Livegrep, combined with their own Git indexer and language-specific cross reference databases.

OpenGrok (https://github.com/oracle/opengrok) is also rather well known, but I have found it to have a slightly worse UI than alternatives.

Try using Searchfox to find references to those libraries. When you open a result, hover your mouse over the left column to see what commit added each line.

You might want to lokk at this, and this, and this .

Layout is hella broken, obviously, but it doesn't crash. You can do a search for progresschunck at https://searchfox.org to find what it means.

https://searchfox.org/ should be you go-to tool to search Firefox code-base.

Also, you can use browser toolbox to inspect Firefox UI and see what styles are being applied to it and to figure out what selectors to use. Of course, there is also https://searchfox.org/ for when you need to figure out exactly how Firefox is doing some feature x.
