Ever wanted to use an API and found the documentation to be lacking?
GitHub code search pretty much solves that. For any API you can find an example of someone else using it.
I've been using it for this for a year now and I wouldn't want to live without it.

Amazing. This was the light bulb moment for me. I work at [big tech co] and we have an internal code search tool, and anytime I need to use a new API I pull it up to find examples of how it's used.
Now I can do this for the entire world of OSS, amazing.
