navi VS cheat

I've built something similar for myself (fzf+a bit of shell). But I realized that fzf's history view (with very long history buffer) works much better for my use case.

I still needed something to cover rare commands with dynamic arguments. That got covered by Navi: https://github.com/denisidoro/navi (takes more friction to add new command than with TBMK, but you get much more organized and easier to search tool).

Similar projects (in a way): navi

I think navi is a better alternative. You can create custom cheats too.

navi might help you with that

I like using navi, but idk if you want something that runs in the terminal.

There's also a cli program called tealdeer that does this kind of thing and uses a local cache. And there's a fuzzy search interactive cli cheatsheet program called navi that's also pretty cool (and you can write your own cheatsheets).

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 ;)
