A quick bash script to allow quick indexing of new codebase. Just add this script to the root of the codebase (and then source it of course).

SOURCE_ME.bash

source_file=`pwd`/${BASH_SOURCE[0]}
source_root=$( readlink -f $( dirname $source_file ) )

# Setup so we can easily search the codebase with csearch/cindex

  # Make sure csearch and cindex are installed first
  if type cindex >/dev/null 2>&1; then
    export CSEARCHINDEX=$source_root/.csearchindex.local
    if [[ ! -f $CSEARCHINDEX ]]; then
      cindex $source_root
    fi
  else
    echo "[WARN] Need to install cindex/csearch in order to index this codebase. Ex: > git clone https://github.com/google/codesearch"
  fi

echo '[INFO] If this is a "c" based codebase you could also run "cscope -R *" to create tags which will also help you explore the code.'
