how to Reuse code in multiple projects but keep a single copy of it on your disk?
Well, I am not sure, how much it can increase the productivity. But I think it will be cool by doing so and it can save disk space :P

Courses Plus Student 22,191 PointsIt's hard to answer this question without knowing the context of which language you are talking about using. Although, in most situations, this concept won't necessarily reduce disk space in the way you think it would.
- So which language(s) are you asking this about?
- How might you be wanting to save/reference this code?
Without knowing that info, you can easily 'save code' for use later by storing a piece of standalone code in a text file/gist on github or snippet manager.
