\usepackage[cache=false]{minted}
\usepackage{xcolor}

\definecolor{code-bg}{rgb}{0.95, 0.95, 0.95}

You can then use syntax highlighting in your document as follows.

\begin{minted}[breaklines, linenos, frame=lines, bgcolor=code-bg]{c}
#include <stdio.h>
int main(){

}
\end{minted}

Otherwise, you can use \inputminted to include source files.

\inputminted[breaklines, linenos, frame=lines, bgcolor=code-bg]{python}{src/hello.py}
