Introduction
As developers and technical writers, we've all been there: you write a blog post, documentation, or tutorial with code examples, only to realize weeks later that your code has changed but your documentation hasn't. Your readers are following outdated instructions, and you're left scrambling to update multiple places where the same code appears.
The Problem with Traditional Code Sharing
When you share code snippets across multiple platforms—your blog, documentation, README files, or even social media—you create multiple copies of the same code. When you update your codebase, you're faced with a tedious and error-prone task:
- Finding all places where the code appears- Manually updating each instance- Hoping you didn't miss any- Dealing with frustrated users who followed outdated examples
This is not just a minor inconvenience—it's a productivity killer and a source of technical debt that compounds over time.
What is SnippSync?
SnippSync is a powerful tool that automatically synchronizes your code snippets across all platforms. Connect your GitHub repository, select the code lines you want to share, and embed them anywhere. When you update your code, all embeds update automatically—no manual work required.
Automatic Synchronization
Your code snippets stay fresh automatically. Update once in GitHub, and all embeds update everywhere.
Universal Embedding
Embed snippets in any website, blog, or documentation platform. Works with HTML, Markdown, and any platform that supports iframes.
Real-Time Updates
Changes are reflected immediately across all embeds, ensuring your audience always sees the latest version.
Secure & Private
Your code remains secure. SnippSync only accesses the specific files and lines you authorize.
GitHub Integration
Seamlessly connect with your GitHub repositories and sync code directly from your source.
How It Works
Getting started with SnippSync is simple:
Connect Your GitHub Repository
Connect your GitHub account and authorize SnippSync to access your repositories. You maintain full control over which repositories SnippSync can access.
Select Your Code
Browse your repository and select the specific file and line range you want to share. SnippSync gives you a preview of exactly what will be embedded.
Get Your Embed Code
