Is there a way to search if a string present in default branch?

[arunanandhan]

Is there an api way to search for a string in the current code in a repo?

[EnricoMi]

Try

gh.search_code(...)

See https://docs.github.com/en/rest/reference/search

Thanks, I see it searches from all the repositories, is there way to search only for a particular repository?

[EnricoMi]

There is an example on that page: https://docs.github.com/en/rest/search#search-code

I couldn't find exactly what I am looking for, I'm very sorry,

can you please paste a code here, if you don't mind?

[EnricoMi]

Try (not tested):

gh.search_code("query repo:user/repo")
gh.search_code("query", repo="user/repo")

[arunanandhan]

Thanks, that works
