cheat
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. (by cheat)

Was looking at the GitHub page for eg and found this gem
I tried eg and tldr, but I preferred cheat. Why, and why not. Cheat not only have nice examples, but let you improve them or create yours. I use the cli, not the curl.

What is a good way to learn bash scripting
Find something to automate or make easier and write a script for it. If you get stuck on a detail, read the man pages of the command you're using (man pages confuse you? try tldr or cheat). Then google it, there's a shitton of SO Q&A on bash. If you can't find it, find a bash channel on irc or discord and ask (they'll expect you've read the FAQ though). Keep notes. I wrote a script to read and edit notes for bash, in bash, and it taught me new things!

Do you ever use cheat sheets at work?
Definitely do. I created my own doc site using docusaurus where i stored a lot of info i use every once in a while. Things i use more often are available as aliases in the shell or zsh functions. There's also the handy dandy cli https://github.com/cheat/cheat that contains a lot of cheat sheets for common binaries.

My thoughts after a week of ChatGPT usage
As a dev - It's a good (very good, in fact) alternative for man, tldr, cheat and zeal (and probably tens of other projects - sorry for not mentioning you) with a very pleasant interface - which was the point I think ;)

What system backup software can you recommend? In the past on Ubuntu I tested Timeshift, and it looks really cool. But the "main problem" is thing, that some options not work in Fedora: https://github.com/teejee2008/timeshift, specifically BTRFS. What does it mean, this is a problem?
