Program for keeping your code (snippets) organized

[midho]

Hi there :)

I hope I chose the right section for posting this question.

I'm looking for a free solution for organizing my code. Right now I keep everything in folders and files and it's not a very convenient way.
I came across a couple of solutions; CodeBank (free) and Source Code Library (shareware). The latter isn't acceptable because of the price, and the former would be perfect if it wouldn't lack the ability to store attachments together with the entries/codes which is kind of very important to me.

If you know any free software that fits my description, please let me know.
For two days now I've been searching without success.

Thanks in advance.

Maybe 'git' is something for you; it's a full code repository (such as cvs) and it's free, developed by Linus Torvald and compadres. I like it a lot. link

kind regards,

I know lots of Integrated Development Environments (IDEs) allow you to store regularly used snippets, but a complete IDE might be overkill for just storing snippets.

If you're on Windows, I recommend something like Texter - good program for storing snippets that are hot-key accessible, and also the text-editor Intype for intergrating your snippets with you development work. I sing Intype's praises quite a lot, but it's a program drawn back by it's slow-arse developers; I think we waited over a year for a new alpha release. Anyway, it's a lovely, efficient editor that I use if I'm on Windows.

*nix, some people swear by Nano, Vim, etc., but not me; ergh; I'm a pointy-clicky kind of guy - blame it on my youth.

Also, I second the use of Git - great little tool. You're able to use it even with SVN repositories, which is pretty awesome. Have a look at google's code hosting project - v. good stuff. It's SVN only, I believe, but, like I said, Git is usable with SVN.

Mark.
