Summary

  • cheat.sh is a huge, collaborative resource for cheat sheets, pulling together information from various sources to provide a quick reference for commands.
  • It can be accessed via the command line with curl, with no need to install anything.
  • Simply type curl cht.sh/ to get instant access to a command’s cheat sheet.
  • It can also be searched with keywords to find relevant commands, and used for programming languages too.
  • Alternatively, install the cheat command line tool for more customisation, including adding personal notes and favourite text editors.
  • This tool maintains a local collection of cheat sheets that can be personalised, downloaded and updated.
  • While both are useful in different ways, both the cheat.sh and the cheat tool can be used to simplify the process of using the command line.
