learn_gnuawk VS cheat

You can read the book online here: https://learnbyexample.github.io/learn_gnuawk/

I don't know if it's the best but this resource is good - https://github.com/learnbyexample/learn_gnuawk

I wrote a book for GNU awk one-liners with plenty of examples and exercises. Free to read here: https://learnbyexample.github.io/learn_gnuawk/

I use my ebooks for reference:

* GNU grep and ripgrep (https://learnbyexample.github.io/learn_gnugrep_ripgrep/)

* GNU sed (https://learnbyexample.github.io/learn_gnused/)

* GNU awk (https://learnbyexample.github.io/learn_gnuawk/)

* Ruby one-liners cookbook (https://learnbyexample.github.io/learn_ruby_oneliners/)

* Perl one-liners cookbook (https://learnbyexample.github.io/learn_perl_oneliners/)

* Command line text processing with GNU Coreutils (https://learnbyexample.github.io/cli_text_processing_coreuti...)

* Command line text processing with Rust tools (https://learnbyexample.github.io/cli_text_processing_rust/) — work-in-progress

* Computing from the Command Line (https://learnbyexample.github.io/cli-computing/) — work-in-progress

GNU awk

Looks like bro pages is archived and they recommend https://github.com/tldr-pages/tldr or https://github.com/cheat/cheat

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.

Hey, the app I recommend shows you all the commands you need per app not just for macOS! Support for programming languages? Download this. For git, docker and neovim download this one.

cheat is also a useful one. Shows you a cheat sheet for the command you search.

are you sure autocompletion isn't enabled for cheat? You're maybe hitting this bug upstream.

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!

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.

cheat and howdoi

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 ;)
