[GAP Forum] Accessing source code from GAP folder

Dear all,

I am looking for a way to access the source code of certain commands. The
library has a lot of folders and generally I need to do a lot of guessing
and trial and error to reach the source code.

For instance, for the details of source code of
"WedderburnDecomposition(FG)". I need to follow the path
"/Users/apple/gap-4.10.2/pkg/wedderga-4.9.5/lib/main.gi"

Is there a refined way of tracking the same, that can direct me from
terminal to source code, which does not need remembering the path of folder
and folder name in which it lies.

Suppose, if I am looking for source code of the command "AllSubgroups(G)"
or the sonata package  command "Subgroups(G)", how do I locate the correct
files?

Thanks in advance!

Sincerely,
Sugandha
