I cannot stress how github code search is helping me! Gotta be the best productivity tool recently

Similarly: https://grep.app/ has been my #1 tool while learning Erlang.

Are there any tutorials on this to use it much efficiently?

I just search up things I'm working with. For example, I'm learning the Erlang library "PropEr", which doesn't have great documentation. One of the main functions/macros that proper uses is ?FORALL, so I search ?FORALL in grep.app and see how people are using it. If I want to narrow the cases down, I use the regex search.

I am learning Rust RN, I wish I could see the real world examples for the topic I am learning. Can you please disclose your way of using GitHub search in detail or any resource on the topic if possible?

I don't have a much else to add: I open the github codesearch at https://cs.github.com/

and I type there something like `"someMethod(" lang:zig`, then I open several results in a new tab and quickly skim through that and close the ones which are not interesting, and that's pretty much it
