opensrc

Run opensrc path zod to fetch and print the absolute path to the cached source, then use grep or cat on that directory. The tool clones the repository at the correct version tag and caches it globally at ~/.opensrc/.

Append the version to the package name, such as opensrc path [email protected] or opensrc path pypi:[email protected]. For GitHub repos, use owner/[email protected] or owner/repo#main to pin a tag, branch, or commit.

Yes, prefix the package name with pypi: or crates:, for example opensrc path pypi:requests or opensrc path crates:serde. For these registries, explicit versions or the latest release are used since there is no lockfile detection.

For npm packages, opensrc auto-detects the installed version from lockfiles including package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, and yarn.lock. Use the --cwd flag to resolve versions from a different project directory.

Source is cached globally at ~/.opensrc/, overridable with the OPENSRC_HOME environment variable. Use opensrc list to view cached entries, opensrc remove for a single package, or opensrc clean with flags like --npm or --repos to clear selectively.

Skip fetching source for simple API usage questions that documentation or type definitions can answer. Fetching is worthwhile when you need internal behavior details, debugging insight, or edge-case verification that types cannot reveal.
