Accelerate developer onboarding
Make your codebase accessible for your entire team
Find answers across all repositories
Codebases grow increasingly complex over time. Sourcegraph enables developers to search everything at once without needing to clone and search locally.
Share knowledge quickly with links to specific code
Knowledge sharing takes time. With Sourcegraph, developers can share links directly to specific lines of code and ask questions with context included.
Navigate and understand large codebases
Make new codebases approachable, not aggravating. Search across all your repositories in one place with Sourcegraph's IDE-inspired features.
Developer onboarding is slow and expensive
Current tools and practices don't enable teams to onboard developers effectively or efficiently.
What does that mean for you?
- New developers are left confused, struggling in front of an opaque codebase.
- Senior teammates need to break focus to answer questions while new devs wait to be unblocked.
- Existing developers onboarding to new projects struggle to maintain turnaround times as they learn unfamiliar parts of the codebase.
Lunar makes every developer autonomous
“Sourcegraph makes it possible for us to enable every team to develop autonomous practices and solve cross-coding issues. This autonomy is vital to ensure developers and their teams can accomplish their day-to-day work in isolation without being blocked.”
— Bjørn Hal Sørensen, Web Architect at Lunar
How Sourcegraph helps
Make knowledge self-serve
Enable developers to learn by example
Get code history and ownership at a glance
Visualize contributions and chart team progress
Document and share actionable code snippets
Make knowledge self-serve
With Sourcegraph, developers can find answers without waiting for a teammate to point them to the relevant code. When questions arise, devs feel more confident that they're asking a more focused and informed question.
Enable developers to learn by example
With Code Search, you can find examples to learn from across all of your company's private repositories and the open source universe.
Get code history and ownership at a glance
Sourcegraph natively supports Git-based version control systems. Searches can quickly reveal who updated code and when, helping developers find the right stakeholders to solve problems effectively.
Visualize contributions and chart team progress
Code Insights allows onboarding developers to understand in-process work and visualize how their contributions advance team goals.
Document and share actionable code snippets
With Notebooks, teams can create always up-to-date, living documentation with familiar features like Markdown and novel capabilities like embedded searches, snippets, and symbols.
Convoy knows its codebase inside and out
“For our new developers, Sourcegraph has been invaluable to get to know the repository structure, to track down where code lives, and self-service during their investigations.”
— Owen Kim, Senior Software Engineer at Convoy Read the case study
Give your team the onboarding experience they deserve.
Enable all your devs to find the answers they need to work more efficiently, ship code more confidently, and stay in flow.
