Sourcebot
Sourcebot is a self-hosted tool that gathers code from many project storage sites into one searchable place, so people and AI helper programs can look through it together. It is aimed at software teams and the developers who work with them.
How hard it is to start using it. Easy: install it like a normal app, or use it in your browser. Advanced: you run it on your own server, use the command line, or it is a tool for developers.
