Source-code search and cross-reference engine.

OpenGrok is a Java source-code search and cross-reference engine for exploring codebases. It indexes source trees so developers can search code, follow cross-references and navigate files alongside supported version-control histories. The application is deployed as a web-based source browser, with a Docker distribution available for running the service in a container.
