# Private Repo Search `gh search code` — GitHub's code search API through the CLI you already have authenticated, scoped to exactly the repos/orgs you need instead of a raw `gh api` call. ## Prerequisites Requires the [`gh` CLI](https://cli.github.com) installed. ```bash gh auth status # confirm authenticated; code search needs no extra scope beyond default ``` ## Core usage ```bash gh search code <query> [flags] ``` | Flag | Use for | |---|---| | `--owner <org-or-user>` | Scope to everything an org/user owns | | `--repo <owner/name>` (repeatable) | Scope to specific repo(s) | | `--language <lang>` | Filter by language | | `--filename <name>` | Filter by filename (e.g. `package.json`) | | `--extension <ext>` | Filter by file extension | | `--match file\|path` | Restrict the match to file contents or the path itself | | `--json path,repository,sha,textMatches,url` + `-q <jq-expr>` | Structured output for scripting | | `-L, --limit <n>` | Result cap (default 30) | ```bash # Find where a symbol is used across every repo in an org gh search code "someFunctionName" --owner patrickserrano # Narrow to specific repos and a language gh search code "RLSPolicy" --repo patrickserrano/harness --language go # Find a config file by name across everything you can see gh search code --filename .lacquer.toml # Machine-readable output for a downstream step gh search code "TODO(migration)" --owner patrickserrano --json path,repository,url -q '.[] | "\(.repository.nameWithOwner): \(.p
