But if it&amp;#x27;s code you&amp;#x27;re already using extensively, it seems like it might be worth it. Maybe you can write some boondoggle to automatically ingest repos based on dependency metadata, even.</text><parent_chain><item><author>azzentys</author><text>Recently, I was browsing an open source project I use a lot. &amp;quot;Sign in to search code on GitHub&amp;quot; was kinda discouraging to see.&lt;p&gt;Sure, I can clone it and run grep&amp;#x2F;ripgrep - but sometimes I like the ability to search the code on the browser.&lt;p&gt;Is it only GitHub where this is a restriction or GitLab is similar?</text></item></parent_chain></comment><story><title>Nginx has moved to GitHub</title><url>https://mailman.nginx.org/pipermail/nginx-announce/2024/ITL3AOQSAJANFJXMM3VOVOIGOUADWFFK.html</url></story>

I&amp;#x27;m not trying to say that github can do no harm or that github &amp;quot;owning&amp;quot; OSS code hosting is a good thing, but the github search bar is a utility that IMO is worth the price of admission.&lt;p&gt;I think that sourcegraph maintains a similar quality OSS code search that can be searched for free but I have not personally used it.</text><parent_chain><item><author>azzentys</author><text>Recently, I was browsing an open source project I use a lot. &amp;quot;Sign in to search code on GitHub&amp;quot; was kinda discouraging to see.&lt;p&gt;Sure, I can clone it and run grep&amp;#x2F;ripgrep - but sometimes I like the ability to search the code on the browser.&lt;p&gt;Is it only GitHub where this is a restriction or GitLab is similar?</text></item></parent_chain></comment><story><title>Nginx has moved to GitHub</title><url>https://mailman.nginx.org/pipermail/nginx-announce/2024/ITL3AOQSAJANFJXMM3VOVOIGOUADWFFK.html</url></story>
