Question

As a software developer I get stuck while implementing a feature and then I solve it somehow through lots of search, article reading, tutorials, etc.

But I would prefer a web app e.g. a central repository that has a workflow defined in it that will allow me to store/document this kind of solutions to certain problems in a software project. So that I can search and refer the repo again in future to recall how I solved a problem if I encounter it again.

Blogging helps but some programming problems are very small and becomes very trivial for a blog post. On the other hand, can't describe a whole technical solution on issue trackers.

Please suggest if there is any web app like that out there or any other suggestion is highly appreciated.

Explanation / Answer

I have finally decided to settle for Git and Markdown. For Git hosting I chose GitLab because it is basically GitHub with addition of free private repos. The idea is to have a single repo for all logs and then have a single dir for each log or entry:

-root
-Entry1
Entry1.md
file1.js
-Entry2
Entry2.md
Entry2.html

I also plan to leverage relative linking and line range highlighting to reference code files within an entry dir or across the whole repo.

Maybe I can even make a repo for my blog someday.
