OpenGrok is a source code search and cross reference engine. It helps programmers to search, cross-reference and navigate source code trees to aid code comprehension.

It can understand various program file formats and version control histories like Monotone, SCCS, RCS, CVS, Subversion, Mercurial, Git, Clearcase, Perforce and Bazaar.^[2]

The name comes from the term grok, a jargon term used in computing to mean "profoundly understand".

OpenGrok is being developed mainly by community with the help of a few engineers from Oracle Corporation (which absorbed Sun Microsystems). OpenGrok is released under the terms of the Common Development and Distribution License (CDDL).

It is mainly written in Java, with some tooling done in Python. It relies on the analysis done by Ctags. There is an official Docker image available.
