Code Search and Navigation Check-in

[Akash1134]

👋 Hello everyone! Hope you’re having a great month so far.

GitHub Code Search and Code View are available in public beta for everyone! With Code Search, you can understand your code better as it brings relevant results with incredible speed and with Code View you can dig deeper into billions of lines of public code with an integrated browsing experience and code navigation. There are a ton of new features to try out, so start exploring at your own pace. Head over to this discussion to share your feedback and ask any questions.

Changes to the code search API 🚨

We are preparing to bring powerful new code search capabilities to GitHub. As part of that effort, on April 10, 2023, we will make several changes to the code search API. Please read this changelog post for more details.

To prepare for these changes, make sure your code handles rate limiting. And if you’re using code search to track changes or find security vulnerabilities in your codebase, consider using webhooks or GitHub Advanced Security.

The deprecation period for those API changes + the bugs we were seeing in API responses over the last days where miserable.
