Hey PH, Matt from Sourcegraph here. The Sourcegraph browser extension gives IDE-like tools to GitHub. You can download it here: https://chrome.google.com/websto... With it you can: - Hover over any symbol for type info and documentation - Click a symbol to jump to definition and find references (even in other repositories) - Search for code like you're in an IDE (goodbye GitHub search) - Navigate repositories with a file tree Our extension works on both public and private code and you can customize your experience in the options page. We would love your feedback! Matt

I find this extension really helpful when exploring unfamiliar code.

Pros:

Provides editor like functionality while browsing code on GitHub. Gives you context around GitHub code you wouldn't otherwise have.

Cons:

Does not support all languages. Only supports Go, TypeScript, Python, and Java.
