How do you manage and organize your reusable code snippets?

I like to paste my snippets into OneNote and organize them by topics, which keeps everything neatly categorized and easy to find.

I keep all my reusable code in a private Git repository on GitHub, which I find really handy. To search through my snippets, I use a tool called ripgrep. I keep my file names basic, like 'py01' or 'db01', but make sure to add a clear comment at the top of each file to help jog my memory later on.

I usually commit my most useful snippets to the project repository, sometimes in an 'experimental' folder or as part of a script to make them easier for others to use. I avoid hoarding snippets unless I genuinely think they’ll be useful later on.

For me, if a code snippet is truly reusable, I integrate it into a formal library, depending on the programming language. Honestly, I don’t find snippets to be that fantastic anymore since modern IDEs and tools like copilots take care of a lot of that for us.

I keep a local copy of everything and find that using grep and awk is super helpful. If I need to find things by filename, I use locate. I also have a directory for text notes where I store essential pieces of code and tips on how to accomplish tasks. I sync my scripts and tools across my machines, so I can access what I need from anywhere.
