Sourcegraph Community Manager here. You can use the Sourcegraph extension for VSCode [1] that would allow you to have the structural search powered by Comby (or literal or regular expression search) inside of VSCode.

You can't do batch changes[2] inside of VSCode yet, only via the Sourcegraph CLI[3]. We're working on expanding this.

Thanks for letting me know. I'll try it right away.


anything similar for vim?


We don't have an extension for Vim yet, but you can use Sourcegraph CLI[1] in your terminal. Feel free to file a feature request[2] though, which should help bump up the prioritization of a proper Vim extension.

Yep! (Sourcegraph Community Manager here) We use Comby syntax for structural search: https://docs.sourcegraph.com/code_search/reference/structura...

We also have a few tutorials to make large-scale code changes across many repositories and code hosts (batch changes) with Comby:

- Refactor Go code using Comby: https://docs.sourcegraph.com/batch_changes/tutorials/refacto...

- Updating Go import statements using Comby: https://docs.sourcegraph.com/batch_changes/tutorials/updatin...

The author of Comby is a researcher at Sourcegraph building our search platform.


Nope, not Sourcegraph!!!


$1,955? Where??? I've only been finding child care for minimum $2500!


Then maybe you should investigate more, for example using the waybackmachine and finding out that Alan founded WakaTime almost 2 years before she ever appeared on the website. He didn't even know her when he started WakaTime.

She's very good at making people believe her lies.


Because she wasn't really a co-founder and it only seemed like she was doing anything for WakaTime. She´s very good at making people believe that when she´s only really self-promoting herself. It does not surprise me at all that she was at the female founder conference. Read this: https://news.ycombinator.com/reply?id=15617309&goto=item%3Fi...


I know the founder Alan and I know Priyanka and I can verify Alan's version. There is no dispute about the ownership. Priyanka bluntly lied to HN and I am shocked to read they would fall for it. I guess everyone is especially careful to not discredit a self-proclaimed "female founder".

I experienced Priyanka as a dishonest person, solely focused on personal gain, who had no issues with stealing credit from others (including from me). It's terrifying to see that she continues to leech off Alan's hard work and even damage his success. Alan only listed her temporarily as Co-Founder on the website (almost 2 years AFTER he founded WakaTime) to build up her confidence in talking to investors (an idea she had btw). She proceeded however to use that for self-promotion, giving interviews all over the place of how she was a "female founder", despite it being a fake title. She would tell Alan that it was all to help Wakatime. Alan was too patient and trusting, even though many people who met Priyanka and saw through her manipulation were warning him about her. Despite finally realizing what she was doing, he kept her listed on the website for many more months, because it was helping her get new job opportunities. He was THAT generous and just didn't think she would exploit him and his hard work. She has now woven such a big lie that all she can do is continue lying. I hope the truth will finally catch up to her.


It's you. He has 100k users.


Couldn't hold my tears at the end.


Finally! I've been needing this for a long time. Great that it doesn't force package installs on you...


Same here, needed this for a long time. I wasn't going to keep a duplicate requirements-to-freeze.txt file around [1] so created this tool.
