GitHub Text Search is a Chrome extension born by the needs to search code inside a repository directly from the web. Sometimes happens that while I'm reading the code from GitHub web pages I have the necessity to search different occurrences of something (usually code) but without clone the repository in my machine and then do my research. The extension add a search bar on the repository main page and allows the user to do the search, the file with matches are listed on the same page and opening them the matches are highlighted, it is possible to move around the matches using shortcut. Due the use of GitHub's API there are some limitations, the search can be done:
- only in master branch
- not in private repository
The extension is available on the chrome market.
You can find the source code on GitHub.
