[ale] command line cheat sheet cht.sh

[Scott Plante via Ale]

I just ran across a cool little site cheat.sh aka cht.sh. It's designed to be used from the command line for quick help for bash, python, and many other languages.


For a no-install use, you can type this, for example to
$ curl cht.sh/ls


There's also a short script you can create like this
$ curl https://cht.sh/:cht.sh > ~/bin/cht.sh
$ chmod +x ~/bin/cht.sh


Then you can just type
$ cht.sh ss


There is bash tab completion available. There is also a vim plugin, plus some for other editors.


I only just started playing with it, but it looks promising. Has anyone been using it for a while and found it useful, or been disappointed?

There's a website that you can enter shell commands onto and it will explain
every option: https://explainshell.com/ - good for 'find' especially.

I prefer to use manpages. They are maintained by the project team, so they
should be the most accurate information available, especially as options change
from release to release.

There is also 'tldr', a commandline tool that offers simplified versions
of manpages
