history

Project history and usage

CodeQuery is a source-code indexing, browsing, and search tool that combines cscope-style call information with ctags-style symbol information and stores the result in a SQLite-backed database.

Project history

The GitHub repository dates to 2013 and the README presents CodeQuery as a cross-platform GUI plus command-line database tooling. It was built around existing source-navigation traditions: cscope, Exuberant ctags, Universal Ctags, pycscope, and starscope.

Adoption history

CodeQuery spread through classic package-manager channels rather than a SaaS ecosystem: the README documents Debian and Ubuntu installation through apt, macOS installation through Homebrew, and Windows binaries through SourceForge.

How it is used

A typical workflow uses cscope and ctags data, processes it with cqmakedb into a CodeQuery database, then browses or queries it with the codequery GUI or searches with cqsearch. The tool supports symbols, call relationships, inheritance relationships, file lookup, grep-style search, and graph exports.

Why package nerds care

CodeQuery matters to package nerds as a packaged survivor of the pre-language-server source-navigation era. It connects long-lived Unix indexing tools, SQLite, GUI browsing, and distro packaging in a way that makes large legacy codebases searchable without adopting a full IDE.
