LSIF on GitHub

You can use GitHub Actions to index LSIF data and upload it to your Sourcegraph instance.

LSIF indexing actions for each language:

• Go indexer action
• ...and more coming soon!

And there is one LSIF upload action.

Setup

Create a workflow file .github/workflows/lsif.yaml in your repository.

The basic flow is to first generate LSIF data then upload it. Here's an example for generating LSIF data for a Go project:

name: LSIF
on:
  - push
jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v1
      - name: Generate LSIF Data
        uses: sourcegraph/lsif-go-action@master
        with:
          verbose: "true"
      - name: Upload LSIF data
        uses: sourcegraph/lsif-upload-action@master
        with:
          public_repo_github_token: ${{ secrets.PUBLIC_REPO_GITHUB_TOKEN }}

Once that workflow is committed to your repository, you will start to see LSIF workflows in the Actions tab of your repository (e.g. https://github.com/sourcegraph/sourcegraph/actions).

After the workflow succeeds, you should see LSIF-powered code intelligence on your repository on Sourcegraph.com or on GitHub with the Sourcegraph browser extension
