Good sites for sharing code snippets & pastes that you can share links to? [closed]

Question

I know there are site tools to check if your webpage is alive, has compression, etc but lets not get into that.

What are useful sites to paste code in and to share links to it? The three i know are

• http://codepad.org/ shows source and runs code online
• http://www.pastie.org/ share source with syntax highlighting
• http://jsfiddle.net/ great for JS help or for the occasional test.

What else do you know of? One answer per question. I'll let lints and validators slide since you do paste code into them. Mention a weakness if you do know one so others wont be surprised or disappointed.

Answer 1

http://gist.github.com is extremely convenient. You can treat pastes as git repos themselves. There's options for private gists. There's an api for command line tools to use. It also has syntax highlighting.

Answer 2

I like http://pastebin.com/ for its privacy, expiration, and syntax-highlighting options. Plus the Firefox addon is handy.

Answer 3

sqlzoo.net/howto/source/z.dir/tip915069/i12meta.xml For trying out SQL commands, different DB's. jslint.com/ Javascript syntax checker.
rubular.com/ A Ruby regular expression editor.

Please excuse 3 in 1.

Answer 4

http://www.cl1p.net/ and http://paste.pocoo.org/ are the two I use (the nice thing about pocoo is that there is a Vim plugin which enables you to paste to pocoo directly)

Answer 5

For regex testing and sharing http://gskinner.com/RegExr/ -edit- and another http://www.rubular.com/
