That sounds interesting. As I'm learning Python sometimes I look for
different approaches to the same problem so I use Git branches in order
to save every try. It's just that I'm looking for a 'global' place in my
system where I can save code ideas and useful snippets not particular to
any project. Quick access could be useful for some copy/paste
operations... I don't know. 

How would you set this up? A git folder 'snippets' maybe?

Thanks for your ideas.
