Create a new snippet.

## Synopsis

Provide one or more file paths to upload, or pass `--filename` and
pipe content from standard input.

Snippets are created in the current project by default. Use
`--personal` to create the snippet in your personal account instead,
and `--visibility` to control who can see it.

```plaintext
glab snippet create [flags] -t <title> <file1> [<file2>...]
glab snippet create [flags] -t <title> -f <filename>  # reads from stdin
```

## Aliases

```plaintext
new
```

## Examples

```console
glab snippet create script.py --title "Title of the snippet"
echo "package main" | glab snippet new --title "Title of the snippet" --filename "main.go"
glab snippet create -t Title -f "different.go" -d Description main.go
glab snippet create -t Title -f "different.go" -d Description --filename different.go main.go
glab snippet create --personal --title "Personal snippet" script.py
```
