I want to do a case sensitive search for a particular piece of code in a GitHub repository. Is it possible?
I checked https://help.github.com/articles/searching-code/ and didn't find such a syntax rule.

Search is not case sensitive.
To search within a particular repository or organization, navigate to the repository or organization page, type what you're looking for into the search field at the top of the page, and press Enter.
Git includes a grep command to search through commits to a repo as well as the local files in the repo directory: git grep. Sometimes it is useful to search for a string throughout an entire repo, e.g. to find where an error message is produced.
Use grep or git grep in your local clone. The GitHub search has a lot of limitations. I think the worst of these is that it only shows the first two matches from any file, so I just avoid it whenever possible.
