Snippets are a feature of Oracle Developer Cloud Service that gives you a place to store reusable pieces of code as part of your project. These are the type of code snippets that you don't want as part of your core Git repository, but that you still find useful. Snippets can be your own private ones or shared among your team.
One nice usage for code snippets is the ability to quickly include them in a wiki page. This allows you, for example, to create a template of a wiki page and then quickly apply it to a new page that you creates. Using the correct markup for your wiki page format (confluence in the example in the video), you can create a collection of templates. For example, a template for a feature page, a template for a meeting minutes page, etc.. then your team members can quickly create pages that conforms to these templates.
In the video below I show you how to leverage this combination step by step.
