+## How do I share code on Discord?
+
+If you're looking for help on Discord, you'll probably need to share your code. How to do this:
+
+- Post *short* pieces of code in Discord messages, surrounded with three <code>\`\`\`backticks\`\`\`</code> to make a [code block][markdown].
+- Post longer pieces of code by linking to [GitHub Gist][gist], [Pastebin][pastebin], [Hastebin][hastebin], or other such sites.
+- Share your entire pokecrystal project at once by hosting it on GitHub as a fork of this repository. Read the [GitHub Help][forkhelp] for details.
+
+If your code is on GitHub, you can [link to specific lines][snippethelp]. Put "`#L42`" at the end of a URL to link to line 42, or "`#L10-L20`" to link to lines 10-20. For example: [https://github.com/pret/pokecrystal/blob/master/main.asm#L21-L26](https://github.com/pret/pokecrystal/blob/master/main.asm#L21-L26)
