cheat – create and view interactive cheatsheets on the command-line

cheat allows you to create and view interactive cheatsheets on the command-line.

It was designed to help remind *nix system administrators of options for commands that they use frequently, but not frequently enough to remember.

Cheatsheets are plain-text files with no file extension, and are named according to the command used to view them. Cheatsheets are stored on “cheatpaths”, which are directories that contain cheatsheets. Cheatpaths are specified in the conf.yml file. Shell autocompletion is currently available for bash, fish, and zsh.

This is free and open source software.
