Introduction
Hello! We're the GloCode development team, and we'd like to introduce our innovative code analysis tool — Search Similar Codes (SSC). This utility is designed to detect both fully and partially matching fragments of code in projects of any size and written in any programming language.
Why It's Needed
Anyone who has worked with a large codebase has faced the need to locate repeated or redundant sections. Whether it’s duplicated logic, copy-pasted blocks, or just an attempt to identify common patterns — doing it manually quickly becomes unmanageable. Traditional tools like Duplo or basic IDE search are limited to exact matches and often miss approximate similarities.
We encountered the same challenge in one of our projects: we needed to find similar, but not identical code blocks to refactor and optimize the codebase. Existing tools were either too rigid, lacked flexibility, or required extensive setup and configuration.
What SSC Does
Search Similar Codes (SSC) is a simple yet powerful tool that:
Finds both exact and partial code similarities
Works with any programming language — no need for language-specific setup
Is project-structure agnostic — just select any folder or file set
Provides an interactive report with easy navigation between matched fragments
Performs efficiently even on large repositories
SSC doesn’t pretend to be smarter than the developer — it gives clear, actionable signals about potential code duplications to help save time and support architectural decisions.
How It's Different
Most existing tools focus on exact matches, require strict formatting, or only support specific languages.
SSC uses a different comparison strategy — one that detects similarities rather than clones, without sacrificing universality. You don’t need to configure grammar rules or templates. Just point it to your code and run.
Why We Built It
We needed a tool like this ourselves — and, as it often happens, nothing available quite met our needs. So we built SSC. It started as an internal utility and grew into a standalone product — one that any developer, DevOps engineer, or team lead can benefit from.
Feedback & What’s Next
Right now, SSC is in active development. It already solves its main task — finding similar code blocks — but its potential goes much further.
We truly value your feedback. If you have suggestions, ideas, comments, or want to share how you use SSC — reach out to us on Telegram. Every opinion matters. We're building this for real developers solving real problems, not for abstract benchmarks.
