Code Search =========== There are a number of ways to search the Skia codebase, each with advantages and disadvantages. [cs.skia.org](http://cs.skia.org) redirects to [Chromium code search](https://code.google.com/p/chromium/codesearch) restricted to the Skia portion of the Chromium tree. You can add a query after the slash; e.g. [cs.skia.org/foo](http://cs.skia.org/foo) will search for "foo" within the Skia tree. Chromium code search provides cross-references, but not history/blame. For Googlers, there is also the option of [the skia depot](https://cs.corp.google.com/#skia/) in internal Code Search. In addition to the main [skia](https://cs.corp.google.com/#skia/skia/) repo, internal Code Search indexes the [buildbot](https://cs.corp.google.com/#skia/buildbot/), [common](https://cs.corp.google.com/#skia/common/), and [skia_internal](https://cs.corp.google.com/#skia/skia_internal/) repos. However, cross-references, history/blame, and code analysis are not available. The Github mirrors of the [skia](https://github.com/google/skia) and [skia-buildbot](https://github.com/google/skia-buildbot) repos are useful for investigating history and blame, or for exploring release branches or other branches. However, the search functionality is fairly limited, cross-references are not available, and in history the original committer's username is replaced with that person's Github username. You can also navigate through the [Skia repos on googlesource.com](https://skia.googlesource.com/). All commits appear here first.
