Sourcegraph

Was ist Sourcegraph?

Sourcegraph is a comprehensive code intelligence platform designed for the unique challenges of working with large and fragmented codebases. Its core is a powerful code search engine that allows developers to find code across thousands of repositories. This capability is the foundation for its AI assistant, Cody. Cody is an AI coding assistant that can reason about a codebase and provide context-aware answers and code suggestions. Unlike other assistants that may only see a few files, Cody leverages Sourcegraph's code intelligence to understand the entire codebase, enabling it to answer questions about complex relationships between different parts of the code. Sourcegraph also includes other features like Batch Changes and Code Insights to help developers maintain and refactor their code at scale.

Features:

• Universal Code Search: Find code across all your repositories, including private ones.

• Cody AI: An AI assistant that can write, debug, and explain code with full codebase context.

• Code Insights: Provides data and visualizations on the health of your codebase.

• Batch Changes: Automate large-scale code changes and refactoring across multiple repositories.

• LLM-agnostic: Cody and Sourcegraph's other AI features are designed to work with various leading LLMs.

Use Cases:

• Onboarding new engineers to a large, unfamiliar codebase.

• Finding and refactoring all instances of a specific function or pattern.

• Getting an AI-generated explanation of a complex file or directory.

• Automating a security fix across hundreds of repositories.

• Generating new code that adheres to a team's specific coding style and conventions.
