Question

I’m reading Django 1.5’s main documentation. As I move forward, I’d like to see some of the real implementation to have a better grasp of the concepts.

I know that the source code is on GitHub. I forked the source and have to search by using my favorite editor to find stuff.

Do you know any online alternative for “searching” among its source code? I mean except for googling each function over and over …

Update: based upon the provided answer, a good Solution is using ack! It’s an awesome tool for searching stuff within source codes ..

For Debian-based distros, you can install it by using:

sudo apt-get install ack-grep; sudo ln -s $(which ack-grep) /usr/local/bin/ack

Answer 1

You should clone the sources, and use ack to search.
