Frequently asked questions

Is there any cost associated with CodeKeep?
No. CodeKeep is completely free for storing all private and public code snippets.

Why isn't my snippet in the search results? I just submitted it.
Searches are based on full-text catalogs and indexing (similar to how search engines work), which is very different from traditional wildcard searches and LIKE clauses. Full-text catalogs take time to index, which is a very expensive operation on the database. Because of that, re-indexing of the full-text catalog does not occur every time a snippet is saved to CodeKeep. Instead, it takes place every few hours; usually 3-4 times per day. So the next time you don't see your snippet right away, be patient. It will show up soon enough.

Does CodeKeep replace my source code control repository?
No. The service CodeKeep provides is not meant to compete with or replace any source code control repository system. A source code control repository is vitally important to the development process because of its ability to store different versions of code. CodeKeep does not replace that functionality.

Can I store binary files in CodeKeep?
No. CodeKeep accepts only ASCII text-based input.

Are there any licensing issues with CodeKeep?
No. All public snippets in CodeKeep may be freely used, copied, and distributed.

Are there any limits to the number of snippets I can store in CodeKeep?
No. Currently, CodeKeep allows anyone to store and share as many code snippets as they like.
