    Hi! What are people using to store their Unity essential Source Codes, techniques etc. I'm basically referring to some kind of Code Archive!

    Currently I just use Notepad++ but it has no organization for code snippets. There is a plugin for Notepad++ that deals with this kind of thing but it always crashes Notepad++ for me which is what prompted this post.

    Ta!

    Why not store it all on Bitbucket?

    Never heard of it tbh! I'll take a look though.

    [edit] That's similar to SVN etc! I already have solution for that. What I wanted was some kind of App that only deals with snippets of code which allows organization etc!

    A backup service is not problem as, like I said, I already have a solution for that.

    Thinking about it, the best way to describe what I want is MS OneNote but for source code!

    It is very useful, I store all of my projects on there and it has saved me from losing a lot of work on two occasions due to hardware problems, you can also look back through past revisions which helps with debugging.

    While it can be used as such, Bitbucket is not a "backup service", it's a version control service. While it can do a lot more, one of the things it's designed for is more or less exactly what you're talking about. Make a logical folder structure in which to store your snippets and version it with Bitbucket, and you're golden.
