There's plenty alternatives.
Unfortunately none has quite as good of a search engine. Do any actually have social features like friends and feeds?
Why would you need those in a git server?
Search is really useful for finding error messages’ origin as well as to find random example usages of APIs that have less than stellar documentation. The nice thing about GH search is that it allows many different facets like language and is pretty flexible by allowing exact search terms. Of course the corpus size helps as well.
No, I know why you would want search, I was asking about why you would want social features.
Because humans are social creatures?
