In-Depth Information
This is one of the earlier offerings and has a bit of structure to it; it looks similar to an e-mail client—
that is, it includes folders, each containing a snippet, and the snippet can be previewed in the
bottom pane (as shown in Figure
14-11
). Each snippet has only one text box or tab, and it can be set
to be of a particular language.

Versioning
Code is ever evolving—you often have to add or alter data in a file while developing or while testing.
For this reason, it's good to have some form of versioning so that you can keep track of changes
and switch back and forth between code versions. While you can choose between CVS, Subversion,
Mercurial, and Git, I find that Git works best as a stand-alone versioning system with the ability
to extend to a team repository. There are plenty of Git clients that can help with managing the
Git repository both on the desktop and online. For online repositories, you can start by creating a
repository on GitHub or Bitbucket.
