Ask HN: How do you store your programming notes?

2 pointsby jbernardo95over 7 years ago
Hi !<p>I was wondering how you store your programming notes ?<p>By programming notes I mean, useful terminal commands, how to notes like how to do a backup of MySQL version x, data structures descriptions, computer science concepts, documentation links, etc ...<p>I currently have a programming notes folder in my Apple Notes app, where I store all my programming notes. But they are getting pretty big and I was thinking in moving them to another storage format, easier to change, keep track and consume.<p>I was thinking in creating a git repo with a bunch of .md files, and use some sort of markdown to html converter so that the notes were easier to read. I also thought of using Dropbox Paper, Evernote or even LaTeX. But the repo with .md files seems to be the best for me.<p>What do you think about this ? Do you use programming notes ? How do you store them ?<p>Thank you !

I have folders separated by language or concept and then category. I&#x27;ve got sections for books and other learning stuff, my own notes and small libraries and stuff and one for bigger projects. I symlink my own libraries I use in different projects into a central lib folder in each language&#x27;s folder.<p>It&#x27;s not the most organized bur it works for me.

I have a directory of .org files sitting in Dropbox. I occasionally export them to html pages. I’ve been meaning to organized it and turn it into a git repo since GitHub renders org mode.
