But if it&amp;#x27;s code you&amp;#x27;re already using extensively, it seems like it might be worth it. Maybe you can write some boondoggle to automatically ingest repos based on dependency metadata, even.</text></comment>

I&amp;#x27;m not trying to say that github can do no harm or that github &amp;quot;owning&amp;quot; OSS code hosting is a good thing, but the github search bar is a utility that IMO is worth the price of admission.&lt;p&gt;I think that sourcegraph maintains a similar quality OSS code search that can be searched for free but I have not personally used it.</text></comment>
