Is there a way to share code snippets among several installations of Xcode?

Based in part on the advice in this response to a question on SO, I tried replacing /Developer/Library/Xcode/PrivatePlugIns/IDECodeSnippetLibrary.ideplugin with an alias to an exact copy in a Dropbox folder, but doing so caused Xcode 4.2 to crash due to an internal logic error.

I want to sync the snippets on my work and home machine. Right now I'm using Alfred for snippets, but it'd be nice开发者_如何学编程 to have Xcode handle the snippets, for convenient tab jumping and intellisense. Has anyone out there attempted something similar?

I guess sharing your own (not the system) snippets is fine. Then, try replacing ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/UserData/CodeSnippets with a symbolic link to your shared folder.

Something like: (in Terminal app)

cd ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/UserData
mv CodeSnippets /path/to/shared/folder/
ln -s /path/to/shared/folder/CodeSnippets CodeSnippets

Repeat in any Mac in which you want to access shared snippets.

as i do and it work.

simply copy your code snippets in

~/Library/Developer/Xcode/UserData/CodeSnippets/

if your didn't made any custom code snippets before then you have to copy whole 'CodeSnippets' dir to path

~/Library/Developer/Xcode/UserData/

now simply close the xcode from activity monitor and start it again you will get new code snippets.
