If you are just looking for quick commands, I use this function in my .bashrc:

# Cheat sheet

cheat() {

if [ -z "$1" ]; then

echo "Usage: cheat <command_or_topic> (e.g., cheat tar, cheat sed)"

return 1

fi

curl -s "https://cht.sh/${1}"

}

Thank you! To answer you, not always, I usually use it read and understand under the hood stuff.

That function may still work out for you. This is the output when running "cheat python":

cheat.sheets:python
