How do you manage code snippets? (lemm.ee)

Do you keep them in your IDE, or elsewhere? Do you have an app for that? Are they easily shared?

I realized I have no system at all but could use one to make it easier to find code I've written and might need again some day.

By snippets, I am referring to any chunk of code / text in any format or language, of any length.

Thanks!

EDIT A DAY LATER: Thanks you all! Reading all these ideas, I got inspired to create my own little web app. Wish me luck... :)

Getters/setters can also be done automatically by __get, __set or __call it's even possible to write a base class or trait that does this automatically.

I am a PHP guru, if you've ever got questions I'm happy to help.

Sadly that's against best practices, it does not work with IDE autocomplete, and neither with PHPStan / PHPCS. You also don't get coverage from PHPUnit. And renaming a property does not rename the usage across the whole project. __get and __set should not be heavily used, and the project shouldn't be based on them.

Some libraries, like Eloquent, uses them well, but you still need to annotate your class with @property if you want to stay sane.

Please never do any of this

Nah, it's actually very useful piping and makes code readable and useful.
