# Features
## Ask Sourcebot
Ask Sourcebot gives you the ability to ask complex questions about your codebase in natural language.
It uses Sourcebot's existing code search and navigation tools to allow reasoning models to search your code, follow code nav references, and provide an answer that's rich with inline citations and navigable code snippets.

## Code Search
Search across all your repos/branches across any code host platform. Blazingly fast, and supports regular expressions, repo/language search filters, boolean logic, and more.

## Code Navigation
IDE-level code navigation (goto definition and find references) across all your repos.
https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/e2da2829-71cc-40af-98b4-7ba52e945530
## Built-in File Explorer
Explore every file across all of your repos. Modern UI with syntax highlighting, file tree, code navigation, etc.

# Deploy Sourcebot
Sourcebot can be deployed in seconds using Docker Compose. Visit our [docs](https://docs.sourcebot.dev/docs/deployment/docker-compose) for more information.
1. Download the docker-compose.yml file
```sh
curl -o docker-compose.yml https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sourcebot-dev/sourcebot/main/docker-compose.yml
```
2. In the same directory as the `docker-compose.yml` file, create a [configuration file](https://docs.sourcebot.dev/docs/configuration/config-file). The configuration file is a JSON file that configures Sourcebot's behaviour, including what repositories to index, language model providers, auth providers, and more.
```sh
echo '{
"$schema": "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sourcebot-dev/sourcebot/main/schemas/v3/index.json",
// Comments are supported.
// This config creates a single connection to GitHub.com that
// indexes the Sourcebot repository
"connections": {
"starter-connection": {
"type": "github",
"repos": [
"sourcebot-dev/sourcebot"
]
}
}
}' > config.json
```
3. Update the secrets in the `docker-compose.yml` and then run Sourcebot using:
```sh
docker compose up
```
4. Visit `http://localhost:3000` to start using Sourcebot
To configure Sourcebot (index your own repos, connect your LLMs, etc), check out our [docs](https://docs.sourcebot.dev/docs/configuration/config-file).
