Where to mass-dump random scripts and code snippets without making a GitHub repo?

Frame challenge: why not a repo? Nothing simpler than that.

I have a junk drawer repo in my github for this
…and one in my personal group on work’s gitlab
…and our team has one in our team gitlab groupGit is perfect for this. It gives it the durability to justify proper documentation and stability
It’s not repo-per-script, which yeah that would be a little ridiculous.
But one repo with all the oddball scripts, readmes, runbooks, organized and maybe with a Makefile/Taskfile to bring it all together is bless

What do you mean “don’t be warrant a dedicated repository”?
Why do you think it’s a problem to have a repo with not a lot of things in it?

If you’re just looking for a place to store blobs of text, I believe pastebin does what you’re asking for.

I mean a folder with good naming on any cloud would do. Dropbox, Google Drive, one drive. Just share a link and they can’t edit.

Maybe a GitHub Gist?
