Thanks to David Winterbottom (@codeinthehole). See https://twitter.com/codeinthehole/status/1346774847221870593

Instructions

1. Open Chrome > Settings
2. Search "manage search engines" and click into it
3. Click "Add"

4. Give "search engine" a name. e.g GitHub - Some repo
5. Give "keyword" a shortcut e.g gh
6. Give "URL with %s in place of query" the URL below:

https://github.com/search?q=%s+repo%3A[ORG]%2F[REPO]&type=Code

Replace `[ORG]` with your organisation/username and `[REPO]` with the name of your repository.

e.g for Django:

https://github.com/search?q=%s+repo%3Adjango%2Fdjango&type=Code

7. Click "Add".

8. Search! e.g Type "gh NameOfComponent" in your address bar.

So, do I add a search engine for each repository?
