I believe the point of these tools is to be UNIXy, doing one thing well, and delegating the rest to other tools you already use. The script just downloads source code and drops you into an editor. Presumably, if you're a developer, you already have your editor set up for handling source code directories.

Yup that is the intent, i designed it keeping in mind, I download very many repos and open it on vim, search is then offloaded to your tool of choice.

Future improvements I am looking at is to add a search for trending remote repos and some caching mechanism
