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... :)

Back when I used macOS, I liked an app called SnippetsLab. Nowadays, I just throw them in Emacs Org files. Emacs is actually very handy for this, you get syntax highlighting in the code block, you can execute the code right from inside your Emacs environment and there's even alpha support for lsp-mode inside of Org code blocks.
