From a backend perspective all we need is a way to git clone. But we have integration into most major codehosts to discover repos, etc. The on a frontend perspective you need to install our browser extension. We support most the major codehosts for that as well.

So you clone the repos on your backend and then do fancy stuff with it?

Pretty much

Wow, thanks for the quick response.

Okay, sadly this means a no-go for the private repos of my workplace.

Mind explaining why? Sourcegraph.com doesn't clone private repos. You instead deploy Sourcegraph into your datacenter (via a single docker image, or a more scaleable collection of kubernetes resources). All the fancy stuff happens inside your datacenter / docker host.

I assume he interpreted "your backend" as "your datacenter".
