Pretty cool that Linus Torvalds invented a completely distributed version control system and 20 years later we all use it to store our code in a single place.

Plenty of people use Codeberg and Gitlab. And it's still distributed - I don't need to lock files and ask coworkers if I can work on them.

Maybe if Git had native support for PRs and issues this wouldn't have happened. (And yes I'm aware of git send-email etc.)

In Codeberg, how does one even search for files containing a given string? Probably the #1 thing I do on GitHub is searching for files in a project containing a given string.

Given how terrible GitHub search in files is, what I usually do is clone the repo and run ripgrep.

Not sure when you tried last, but it's gotten a lot better over the years. If you need something from the latest master, you'll be able to find it.

If the repository is indexed, there isn’t really competitive search. You can find blog posts about it. They actually used ripgrep at some point. (not anymore I guess because too slow?).

Edit: ripgrep was just a test

But Github is actually pretty good at searching for something across all files in a repo.

Not remotely as good as grep.app.

I was shocked at how fast I was able to find "Open an audio file and read as mono waveform, resampling as necessary" of whisperX in audio.py on grep.app.

It was instantaneous. But where do I go from there? I cannot navigate through the code. It shows me where I can find that string, but that's it. I also cannot look at blame to see when that line got edited.

Though thanks a lot for bringing this onto my radar.
