Sourcegraph is now open source

[nir]

Sourcegraph is a fast, open-source, fully-featured code search and navigation engine.

 

Features

• Fast global code search with a hybrid backend that combines a trigram index with in-memory streaming
• Code intelligence for many languages via the Language Server Protocol
• Enhances GitHub, GitLab, Phabricator, and other code hosts and code review tools via the Sourcegraph browser extension
• Integration with third-party developer tools via the Sourcegraph Extension API

 

Try it

• Try out the public instance on any open-source repository at sourcegraph.com.
• Install the free and open-source browser extension.
• Spin up your own instance with the quickstart installation guide.
• File feature requests and bug reports in our issue tracker.
• Visit about.sourcegraph.com for more information about product features.

 

Sourcegraph development is now open source at github.com/sourcegraph/sourcegraph(Apache License)! You can now contribute to Sourcegraph:

• Search/browse sourcegraph/sourcegraph on Sourcegraph itself and discuss our code and docs
• Submit PRs to the Sourcegraph open-source project
• See, discuss, and propose changes to the work-in-progress product roadmap
• Add and improve documentation
• Build Sourcegraph extensions to enhance viewing/reviewing code on both Sourcegraph and GitHub alike

We opened up Sourcegraph to bring code search and intelligence to more developers and developer ecosystems—and to help us realize the Sourcegraph master plan:

• Make basic code intelligence ubiquitous (for every language, and in every editor, code host, etc.)
• Make code review continuous and intelligent
• Increase the amount and quality of open-source code

We're also excited about what this means for Sourcegraph as a company. All of our customers, many with hundreds or thousands of developers using Sourcegraph internally every day, started out with a single developer spinning up a Sourcegraph instance and sharing it with their team. Being open-source makes it even easier to start using Sourcegraph in that way.

 

Organizations using Sourcegraph can upgrade to Sourcegraph Enterprise (previously called Data Center) to get the features that large organizations need (single sign-on, backups and recovery, cluster deployment, etc.).

 

These additional features in Sourcegraph Enterprise are paid and not open source. The success of Sourcegraph Enterprise makes it possible for Sourcegraph Inc to keep working towards our master plan.

 

Beyond open-sourcing Sourcegraph's code and development, we're also opening up other product and company processes. Our product roadmap, browser extension,about.sourcegraph.com website, open job posts, and much more are now public, too. And the Sourcegraph master plan has always been public.

See you over at the Sourcegraph open-source repository!

Thanks to Philip Thomas, Jay Taylor, Kevin Wang, and Dan Bentley for feedback on the open-source repository's docs and scripts, and to all of the AUTHORS who have contributed to the project so far.
