Would it be possible to view personal private respository code with this?

I'm not sure what it would take to make that happen.

I'm not sure that would make sense for this tool.

This tool is to quickly investigate a codebase you've never seen through the façade of a familiar tool.

A "personal private repository" isn't code that you've never seen or are unfamiliar with.

My organization has hundreds of private repos. It would be great to use this tool to explore those.

+1. This would be an incredibly useful tool when I have to search private company repos I'm unfamiliar with. Currently I use GitHub's 'search current repo' functionality but it's not great.

Interesting product, thanks!

Note the "personal" qualifier in the comment.

I often browse private code in github when I intend to store or share links to certain lines in our codebase. e.g. to use in tickets or PRs, or during Slack discussions.
