Using Batch Changes to update repositories

Search, define, execute, and track code changes

  • Find all occurrences of code to change with Sourcegraph universal code search
  • Programmatically define changes by creating a declarative specification file
  • Execute specifications via a lightweight CLI
  • Track changeset lifecycle status across multiple code hosts via the Sourcegraph UI

The ability to automate downstream changes that Sourcegraph Batch Changes provides is a key capability for reducing the hidden burden of updates pushed across teams and enabling us to increase our engineering velocity.
