NAME
gh-search-code - Search within code
SYNOPSIS
gh search code <query> [flags]
DESCRIPTION
Search within code in GitHub repositories.
The search syntax is documented at:
⟨https://docs.github.com/search-github/searching-on-github/searching-code⟩
Note that these search results are powered by what is now a legacy GitHub code search engine. The results might not match what is seen on github.com, and new features like regex search are not yet available via the GitHub API.
OPTIONS
- --extension <string>
- Filter on file extension
- --filename <string>
- Filter on filename
- -q, --jq <expression>
- Filter JSON output using a jq expression
- --json <fields>
- Output JSON with the specified fields
- --language <string>
- Filter results by language
- -L, --limit <int> (default 30)
- Maximum number of code results to fetch
- --match <strings>
- Restrict search to file contents or file path: {file|path}
- --owner <strings>
- Filter on owner
- -R, --repo <strings>
- Filter on repository
- --size <string>
- Filter on size range, in kilobytes
- -t, --template <string>
- Format JSON output using a Go template; see "gh help formatting"
- -w, --web
- Open the search query in the web browser
