Which tools do you use to manage your snippets and where do you store them?
Or do you use snippets at all?

How do you manage your code snippets?

Robin KretzschmarOct 10, 2019I have a repo for now just like you, but I like the idea of searching it in Notion via tags. Will check if this works for me.
Thanks for you feedback :)
Bruce AxtensOct 10, 2019I flip flop between Zim and an old (.Net 3.5) tool called SnippetManager. Are you suggesting something better?

Zim looks interesting 🤔
I have a repo for now where I just put snippets in subfolders.
Yesterday evening I found Lepton and it looks like it has a nice UI, is cross-OS compatible (Win/macOS/Linux) and has all the features I would expect like tagging, searching, descriptions and categories by language.It seems like it saves them to github gists.
Will check this one out today :)
Nathan S.R.Aug 8, 2023Hi, I had to write a new & easy web-based application myself, to satisfy various needs of my large team ( documenting their various code snippets ) and make it accessible throughout the local area network, for ease of use. This application / system is now released as an Free & Open Source Project here:
sourceforge.net/projects/easy-team...Hope this helps out all teams looking for an easy way to document everything.
For me, if it's framework specific, I have a repo that is a component / snippet library.
If it's framework agnostic, I keep it in Notion.so so that it's searchable using the name and tags such as
css&setup, etc.
