Limitations

Quick Navigation

Since there're some huge repos containing thousands of folders/files (imagine someone uploaded node_modules/), it'll significantly increase the responding time if we fetch all the files from GitHub API. Thus GitHub VSC will only search current folder when you are typing in the Cmd + P panel.

Say the repo has the structure of foo/a/file1 and foo/b/file2:

1. When you typed foo/ it will show the result as the combination of foo/a and foo/b.
2. When you typed foo/a/ it will show a single result foo/a/file1.

Global Text Search

Quote from GitHub docs:

Due to the complexity of searching code, there are a few restrictions on how searches are performed:

• Only the default branch is considered. In most cases, this will be the master branch.
• Only files smaller than 384 KB are searchable.

Also, the global text search result has NO pagination yet. (It always shows page 1)
