Best way to manage code snippets in Linux?

Question

How you manage/organize your collection of code snippets on Linux? Is there a specialized tool to do that (both in GUI and CLI environment)? Is there any convention about code snippet management in Linux? Also, I often do some work via ssh so it would be really helpful if I can access my snippet easily from command line. I just moved to Linux for several months and still got to learn a lot about software development in Linux.

Any suggestion is appreciated. Thanks!

like subversion or something? – Cystoscope

Actually like the one in visual studio – Loria

What in Visual Studio do you like? Source Safe? – Alpestrine

Earlier version with nearly the same title, and I'm sure there was a very popular version of the general version of this question early on. – Summerly

But what about cli? Is there no easy way to do that in cli? – Loria

@arifwn: I use emacs and the filesystem and a VCS. – Summerly

Ah, emacs... I guess I should start learning to use it now. I was hoping to use some simpler software in cli but it seem none available. – Loria

Answer 1

I think this is what you are looking for: Snippely and jCodeCollector

I use Snippely on my mac, it awesome.

Trying both now. jCodeCollector has syntax highlighting while Snippely has a nice look. – Loria

The app seems long dead, but I've been looking for hours for a Linux snippet manager and can't find nothing similar. Here the download links for 3 OS's: pastebin.com/TGewkQv3 – Brownie

It's on github: github.com/alessandrococco/jcodecollector. I have recently moved to Dash: kapeli.com/dash – Kinlaw

Looks zuper-pro, funny that there's almost no options for Linux. – Brownie

Answer 2

You could use Code Barrel to do that. For GUI based you could use the webapp but for CLI you could write scripts using the API. There is a plugin for Eclipse based IDEs as well.
