Go here: https://github.com/search and enter "pattern repo:user_name/repo_name".

For example, to search for cnn_learner in the fastai repo of user fastai, enter this:

cnn_learner repo:fastai/fastai

That's it. The only annoyance is you'll need an extra click. It will tell you:

We couldn’t find any repositories matching 'cnn_learner repo:fastai/fastai'

because by default it searches for repositories matching that search string...

So just click on the left on "Code" and it will display what you want.

Or get the code search results directly with a URL like this:

https://github.com/search?q=cnn_learner+repo%3Afastai%2Ffastai&type=code
