# Snippets
|
|
|
|
Snippets are little bits of code or text.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
There are 2 types of snippets - project snippets and personal snippets.
|
|
|
|
## Comments
|
|
|
|
With GitLab Snippets you engage in a conversation about that piece of code,
|
|
facilitating the collaboration among users.
|
|
|
|
> **Note:**
|
|
Comments on snippets was [introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/12910) in [GitLab Community Edition 9.2](https://about.gitlab.com/2017/05/22/gitlab-9-2-released/#comments-for-personal-snippets).
|

|
|
## Project snippets
|
|
|
|
Project snippets are always related to a specific project - see [Project features](../workflow/project_features.md) for more information.
|
|
|
|
## Personal snippets
|
|
|
|
Personal snippets are not related to any project and can be created completely independently. There are 3 visibility levels that can be set (public, internal, private - see [Public Access](../public_access/public_access.md) for more information).
|
|
|
|
## Downloading snippets
|
|
|
|
You can download the raw content of a snippet.
|
|
|
|
By default snippets will be downloaded with Linux-style line endings (`LF`). If you want to preserve the original line endings you need to add a parameter `line_ending=raw` (eg. `https://gitlab.com/snippets/SNIPPET_ID/raw?line_ending=raw`). In case a snippet was created using the GitLab web interface the original line ending is Windows-like (`CRLF`).
