Your first step is to choose a code snippet you want to reuse. To find eligible code, try [searching {% data variables.product.github %}](https://github.com/search). You can narrow your search with search qualifiers like `language:YOUR-SEARCH-LANGUAGE`.
For example, let's say you want to reuse Python code that calculates the factorial of a number. By searching {% data variables.product.github %} for `factorial language:python is:repository user:devwithdocs`, we find the [`devwithdocs/python-factorial`](https://github.com/devwithdocs/python-factorial) repository, which implements the calculator in [`factorial_finder.py`](https://github.com/devwithdocs/python-factorial/blob/main/factorial_finder.py) using a loop:
