cheat

Status: A very basic working version. Will improve when I can find some time.

Reimplementation of Chris Lane's cheatsheet script in Go.

I'm mostly doing this as a means of learning Go as it seemed like a nice first project to start with.

Install

I guess this would work!

go get github.com/dufferzafar/cheat

Usage

~/.cheatrc - A JSON based config file which stores basic configuration.

cheat show git - Show the git cheatsheet

cheat edit git - Edit the git sheet. A new one will be created if it doesn't already exist.

cheat show git --copy 12 - Copy the 12th cheat from the sheet

Todo

• Find a way of using all the sheets from chris's repo, along with stuff that I've added.

• Allow multiple cheat directories

• Colors on the AppHelpTemplate.

• Or execute a command by, cheat git 12 ?

• User's favorite editor, with support for command line parameters.

• Wrap the output to a fit width? like 79 characters?

• Update cheat sheets from chris' repo, cheat --update for updating it the safe way, and cheat --update --force for overwriting all the cheats with the downloaded version.

• Should grep support be added? or can that be achived by grepping things?

Far Future

• Add support for bro pages
• A complete client for http://www.commandlinefu.com/site/api
