Practical GitHub Code Search

GitHub is a vast code repository—with over 100 million developers and more than 330 million repositories, it’s the largest developer platform in the world. Finding your way when you’re looking for something specific can be difficult, but GitHub has tools to help. In this course, Ray Villalobos helps you find what you need. Ray starts out with a look at the regular search features of GitHub—showing you how to use the search box along with shortcuts, qualifiers, and operators, and how to use the results page to further refine your search. He then shows you how GitHub works when searching for code, including finding code you want to learn from as well as improvements with code search results.
Join Ray in this course to find out how you can search, understand, and get the code faster and more efficiently than ever before.
