Recently I’ve been using Gmail as a code repository for a lot of the small code snippets I create and I’ve found it to be very helpful since the mailbox is searchable. No more opening all of the little text files I used to have spread out across my computer. You can even take it one step further and use Gmail’s Labels and the ability to star conversations to be able to find things very easily.
If you’re in need of a Gmail account, I have quite a few invites available. Just shoot me an email and I’ll send you one.

How are you getting your code into and out of your gmail account?
Are you using the gmailfs or something else?
Thanks,
Andy.

I use yahoo myself… It has a notes organizer that is searchable and very easy to manage.

Is grep not useful in this regard?
March 16th, 2005 at 3:02 pm
I just email the code to a second account I’ve set up. I have been looking at gmailfs though.
I’ve never used grep.

Why not use yahoo desktop search instead ?

I like being able to access my code from anywhere. I’m not always on my main computer that has what I’m searching for.

You might want to look at a product I am developing (www.h3k.biz). I am like you guys in that I often email code snippits to myself. One of the features of this software is that it can check your email account and automatically find the snippits and load them into the software.

There’s an idea for a project. Create some sort of CVS system based on GMail as the backend. The email’s timestamp will automatically order the file versions.
You may still need a seperate db to store who has the files checked out, etc.

Don’t bother hacking on Gmail. Just get CVS today. Get a free shell account, or use your hosted server.
If you have a server somewhere, CVS or SubVersion or Perforce is a great way to go. No need to dump it into gmail. Using a source code control system lets you sync easily between office, home, laptop.
I use CVS over SSH. Works great. A lifesaver, really.

I ran across http://www.bigbold.com/snippets/
It’s like an open del.icio.us tagging system for code snippets.
