Fisheye vs Sourcegraph: What are the differences?
What is Fisheye? Search, track, and visualize code changes. FishEye provides a read-only window into your Subversion, Perforce, CVS, Git, and Mercurial repositories, all in one place. Keep a pulse on everything about your code: Visualize and report on activity, integrate source with JIRA issues, and search for commits, files, revisions, or people.
What is Sourcegraph? Code search and code intelligence for you and your team. Sourcegraph is a code search engine that lets you search across hundreds of thousands of libraries and browse code in the same way you can do in a great IDE. Search for a function, see live examples of how it’s used by other repositories, and jump to the definition of other code around it—even if the definition is in a completely different repository.
Fisheye and Sourcegraph can be categorized as "Code Search" tools.
Some of the features offered by Fisheye are:
- Track code activity in one place
- Cross-version control support
- Code search
On the other hand, Sourcegraph provides the following key features:
- Search open source and private code repositories by function or package
- find usage examples
- jump to definition
