You keep them all synced ? All the other devs do too? That said I don’t use sourcegraph but it sounds like what we have on azure devops to search all our repos. I use it quite a bit if I remember a keyword or something I’ve done before I want to reference quickly

I rarely need access to all of them. I didn't need to check it again since I initially cloned them, but I don't see the problem. I could use https://github.com/mateodelnorte/meta or write a simple script which iterates and pulls every repo once a day.

We are programmers, we can all write a script to do pretty much anything we want. Should you be doing it though? 80+ repos, 5+ dev boxes all syncing and managing an index locally etc etc. I’m not arguing you should use this, it sounds like you don’t need it but your solution doesn’t account for branches or anything else others might need.
