What's the Emacs way to explore a new project?

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/emacs

Our great sponsors
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • ggtags

    Emacs frontend to GNU Global source code tagging system.

  • https://github.com/leoliu/ggtags can also be useful ; and for me ripgrep via https://github.com/leoliu/ack-el or https://github.com/jacktasia/dumb-jump

  • ack-el

    Emacs Interface to Ack-like Tools

  • https://github.com/leoliu/ggtags can also be useful ; and for me ripgrep via https://github.com/leoliu/ack-el or https://github.com/jacktasia/dumb-jump

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • dumb-jump

    an Emacs "jump to definition" package for 50+ languages

  • https://github.com/leoliu/ggtags can also be useful ; and for me ripgrep via https://github.com/leoliu/ack-el or https://github.com/jacktasia/dumb-jump

  • eglot

    A client for Language Server Protocol servers

  • But I guess https://github.com/joaotavora/eglot can also be useful

  • consult-lsp

    LSP-mode and consult.el helping each other

  • Would either consult-lsp or consult-eglot fit what you’re looking for? Both offer jumping to workspace symbols.

  • consult-eglot

    Jump to workspace symbols with eglot and consult

  • Would either consult-lsp or consult-eglot fit what you’re looking for? Both offer jumping to workspace symbols.

  • citre

    A superior code reading & auto-completion tool with pluggable backends.

  • I will recommend citre which is based upon ctags. The one drawback of etags.el is it will load the whole TAGS file into memory and search symbols in TAGS buffer. As compared with citre, it uses the readtags binary (typically, it's bundled in ctags package), there is no need to load it into memory.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
