Summary

The docs used ~20 different spellings for "your Sourcegraph instance" and a handful of inconsistent code-host placeholders. This PR standardizes them:

  • Sourcegraph instance → sourcegraph.example.com (already the incumbent at ~150 uses). Replaces your-sourcegraph-instance.com (25), sourcegraph.company.com/.io, sourcegraph.yourcompany.com, sourcegraph.yourdomain.com, sourcegraph.your-domain.com, sourcegraph.your_instance_name.com, sourcegraph.mycompany.com, myinstance/yourinstance/yourdomain/example.sourcegraph.com, sourcegraph.test:3443, src.acme.com, and URL-position placeholders (https://<YOUR-SOURCEGRAPH-INSTANCE-URL>, <Sourcegraph URL>/.api, <sourcegraph-host>.com, $your_sourcegraph_url, SRC_ENDPOINT="YOUR_SOURCEGRAPH_URL").
  • Code hosts / infra → <service>.example.com: my-{gitlab,bitbucket,phabricator}.example.com, bitbucketserver.example.com, your-bbs-instance.example.combitbucket.example.com, github-enterprise.example.comgithub.example.com, smtp-server.example.comsmtp.example.com, *.internal.company.net*.internal.example.com, and an internal bitbucket.sgdev.org repo reference in a batch-changes example.
  • Generic infra placeholders → <service>.example.com: grafana.mycompany.com, prometheus.mycompany.com, psql1/psql2.mycompany.org, redis.mycompany.org, sourcegraph-pgbouncer.mycompany.com, sourcegraph-codeintel-pgbouncer.mycompany.com, pgsql.database.company.com, myregistry.company.com, and dig acme.com caadig example.com caa.
  • Cloud custom-domain walkthrough: src.acme.comsourcegraph.example.com, acme.sourcegraphcloud.comexample.sourcegraphcloud.com (matching the # e.g. example.sourcegraphcloud.com comments elsewhere in the cloud docs).
  • OneLogin SAML page: mycompany.onelogin.comexample.onelogin.com, with the "replace mycompany" instruction updated to match.

Deliberately left alone

  • Auto-generated SCHEMA_SYNC blocks (src.example.com, my-*.example.com, artifactory.acme.com, swarm.company.com in JSON schema descriptions) — those must change upstream in sourcegraph/sourcegraph.
  • docs/technical-changelog.mdx (historical record).
  • localhost:3080 in local-install guides (genuinely local access, not a placeholder).
  • Non-URL prose placeholders such as <sourcegraph-instance>/campaigns/* and <INSTANCE_URL> (cloud, paired with example.sourcegraphcloud.com).
  • Generic git.example.com/code.example.com.

~100 line changes across 40 files; pure text substitution, no structural edits.

Amp threads

Standardize on sourcegraph.example.com for "your Sourcegraph instance"
(replacing your-sourcegraph-instance.com, sourcegraph.company.com,
sourcegraph.your*.com, *.sourcegraph.com placeholders, sourcegraph.test:3443,
src.acme.com, and URL-style angle-bracket placeholders), and on
<service>.example.com for code hosts and infra (my-*.example.com,
bitbucketserver/your-bbs-instance, github-enterprise, smtp-server,
*.company.net, bitbucket.sgdev.org).

Auto-generated SCHEMA_SYNC blocks and the technical changelog are left
untouched; the schema descriptions must be fixed upstream.
