+# App Workbench Shared Code Snippets
+
+This repository contains reusable code snippets designed to accelerate the development of custom applications within the **Application Workbench** on the EPISODES Platform. Use these snippets to enhance your projects by copying and integrating them directly into your application repositories.
+
+## Application Workbench
+
+The Application Workbench is a web interface for creating and managing GIT repositories, allowing users to build custom applications for data analysis and virtual experimentation. Learn more at the [Application Workbench](https://epos-apps.grid.cyfronet.pl/).
+
+## Purpose of This Repository
+
+The **Shared Snippets** repository aims to:
+- Provide reusable and commonly used code snippets that can be integrated into user-created applications within the Application Workbench.
+- Speed up the development process by offering ready-to-use code components.
+- Encourage the sharing and reuse of useful code fragments among Workbench users.
+
+## How to Use Snippets
+
+1. **Browse**: Find a suitable snippet in the repository.
+2. **Copy**: Copy the snippet code directly into your application’s codebase within the Application Workbench.
+3. **Customize**: Modify the snippet if necessary to fit the specific requirements of your application.
+4. **Check for Updates**:  Regularly revisit this repository to see if there are any updates or improvements to the snippets you are using. Manually update your code as needed.
+5. **Follow Guidelines**: Make sure to read any guidelines or comments within the snippet for proper integration.
+6. **Review Licenses**: Always review the snippet’s license and ensure it complies with your application’s requirements.
+
+## Repository Structure
+The repository is organized by programming languages to help you easily find the snippets relevant to your needs:
+
+- **`/matlab`** - MATLAB code snippets.
+- **`/python`** - Python code snippets.
+
+## Contributing
