copied!<p>As noted by NSSplendid, they're stored in <code>~/Library/Developer/Xcode/UserData/CodeSnippets/</code>.</p> <p>You can use Dropbox to sync them; I use this technique to synchronize my key bindings and archives between computers.</p> <p>Follow these steps:</p> <ol> <li>Quit Xcode.</li> <li>Move your CodeSnippets directory to your Dropbox. For example, let's say you moved them to <code>~/Dropbox/CodeSnippets</code></li> <li>Let Dropbox upload them.</li> <li>Pause Dropbox's syncing.</li> <li>Move them back to where Xcode stores them.</li> <li>Create a symbolic link into Dropbox: <code>ln -s ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/UserData/CodeSnippets ~/Dropbox/CodeSnippets</code>.</li> <li>Resume Dropbox syncing.</li> <li>Relaunch Xcode.</li> </ol> <p>On your other computer:</p> <ol> <li>Quit Xcode.</li> <li>Let Dropbox download everything, if it hasn't yet.</li> <li>Pause Dropbox syncing.</li> <li>Remove your local Xcode user data: <code>rm -R ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/UserData/CodeSnippets</code>.</li> <li>Move your UserData from Dropbox to Xcode: <code>mv ~/Dropbox/CodeSnippets ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/UserData/CodeSnippets</code>.</li> <li>Create a symbolic link from your UserData to DropBox: <code>ln -s ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/UserData/CodeSnippets ~/Dropbox/CodeSnippets</code>.</li> <li>Resume Dropbox syncing.</li> <li>Relaunch Xcode.</li> </ol> <p>The convolutions are necessary because Xcode will not follow a symlink, but Dropbox will. Dropbox will treat that symlink exactly as if the directory was actually there.</p> <p>This is not perfect; you will probably have to quit Xcode to have it recognize new snippets.</p> <p>I sync my entire UserData directory, which gets me synchronized key bindings, named tabs, font & color schemes and code snippets. To do this, move and ln ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/UserData instead. </p>
