Ask HN: How do you manage one-off internal scripts?

At a prior company we added them to a folder of misc scripts along with notes on what they were for.

Not the greatest solution but it did ensure they never got lost.

As more engineers joined and people needed to reuse old scripts, was there some process to discover them on their own? My scripts are also dumped in a repo, but team members are having trouble finding them and running them especially since there are quite a few now.

A combo of group experience and manually reading them.

Most scripts were never re-used, so it was not a problem all that often.
