Why save code snippets?
As you code, you discover useful patterns, utilities, or solutions. Saving them:
- Reuse across projects — don't reinvent regex patterns or algorithms.
- Learn from your code — review past solutions.
- Share with team — snippets are documentation.
- Quick reference — fast lookup without searching git history.
Types of snippets
- Algorithms — sorting, searching, string manipulation.
- Boilerplate — project setup, configuration templates.
- Regular expressions — email validation, URL parsing, etc.
- SQL queries — common patterns for your database.
- API calls — curl or fetch examples.
- Config files — .env, docker-compose, etc.
Organizing snippets
- By language — JavaScript, Python, SQL, etc.
- By purpose — string utils, API helpers, data structures.
- By project — snippets specific to a codebase.
- Favorites — pin most-used snippets.
- Tags — cross-cutting categories (e.g., "regex", "async").
