Save & Index My Code

[P00HB33R]

Hi Guys

Does anyone know of a desktop based app where I can save & index my own code that I write (C & C#). I have a lot of functions that I reuse extensively across all systems that I create, and just want a easier way to save my code/functions for later lookup/copy/paste.

I suppose I could write my own app for this, but being in the business I am quite content with the amount of code that I had/have to write

Why not GitHub?

If you'd like to store your code in a private repo, you could also give GitLab a try.

Perhaps a bit over the top for private use, but in our environment we use Fisheye (https://www.atlassian.com/software/fisheye). There are a ton of snippet managers out there and I personally create my own docsets and then use https://kapeli.com/dash

Thanks for the recommendations. Settled for Snippet Manager. Desktop app, and you can sync with your own ftp. Supports like 37 languages also

Can you install it on shared hosting or do you need a VPS?

Is the above the one you have used?

If so, how is it?

Not actually sure - was referring to the hosted version. I'd think you need a VPS though. And Ruby.

It's ok, It's meets the OP's request for a desktop app.
Personally I prefer to keep my code extensions in a single repo on bitbucket (1 per language) because it's free, backed up and private.

Is bit bucket entirely free?

How many different private projects can you host?

As many as you like, with a limit of 5 users / account, more requires monthly payment. https://bitbucket.org/product/pricing

Holy cheese and a waffle mountain

Screw github

I'm registering now this is literally perfect.

Lol, I tend to have a number of accounts littered around. Nothing says you can't have both and more.

I don't get it.
Why not refactor/compose into a sensible set of class libraries that you reuse (for the C# stuff at least). You should not be cutting/ pasting (DRY principle). C#/VS has built in documentation capabilities.

What if you don't code in C or any c based language?

yes sure maybe, but don't most langs support the concept of a linkable lib?

I'm with you on this. When I first read tge OP I immediately thought "package manager" like nuget, npm etc.

Why would you want to save functions as snippets?

Because he might use them almost like abstract classes where each function is more or less the same but changes per client needs
