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... :)

I go full chaos and look up where I last used it when I need a snippet...

It's got to be here somewhere... (Search for way too long.........) Dang, I guess I'll just write it again from scratch

Yeah, this is what I am looking to avoid.

I have a weird knack for reverse engineering, and reverse engineering stuff I've written 7-10 years ago is even easier!

I tend to be able to find w/e snippet I'm looking for fast enough that I can't be assed to do it right yet 😆
