Taking a look at the public homebrew, I would guess it's this one assuming the DM didn't making their own Crackling Leap. It's got a version 2 to be on. Though the availability doesn't exactly match.
You touch a willing creature to imbue them with lightning energy. That creature may move up to half their movement speed and make a single weapon attack. The attack gains +2 to hit and does 2d6 additional lightning damage.
At higher levels, when you cast this spell using a higher spellslot, the attack gains an additional 1d6 lightning damage for each slot above 1st level. When cast using a 4th level spellslot or higher, the spell can be cast as a bonus action.
There is a possibility that the original source is a 3rd party book that isn't available on D&D Beyond, and was added as a homebrew spell. But the only way to know that would be for someone with a copy of the book it came from to see this thread and answer it, or stumble across said book yourself - unless your DM tells you, of course.
Although with a name change in between versions I don't think that is likely, and pure homebrew seems the most likely answer. The spell also providing a flat + to hit modifier also seems like something from a homebrew - I'm not aware of any spell that does that - the official spells that add bonuses tend to either add a die roll or grant advantage, and I'd presume that the 3rd parties with former 5E designers in them would also avoid creating something like that.

Starting a new campaign and the DM is giving us access to his compendium.
There is a 1st LvL Enchantment spell on the list for Artificers and Wizards called Crackling Leap.
It has all the tags like other spells except for Source. Instead it says Version: 2
Is this a homebrew?
That would be homebrew. lol

Other ones I found where a paladin-only and this one that didn't number its versions.
This is a signature. It was a simple signature. But it has been upgraded.

Definitely homebrew
Anything that says 'version' is homebrew. If it was not homebrew, that line would instead be Source: [book abbreviation, page number].
