Best cheat sheet for everyone
All credit for this mentioned method goes to Chubin^1 and the cheat.sh^2 project
Hi folks here I'll show you one of the best cheat sheets if you for example forgot how to use tar, like in the picture below
You can just type cht tar
in your terminal.
So to get this working we have to do the following, just install curl. I'll provide the steps for the most used Linux Distributions.
sudo apt install -y curl #Debian and Debian based systems
sudo zypper install -y curl #OpenSUSE/SUSE
sudo dnf install -y curl #Fedora
sudo pacman -S curl #Arch Linux
After that you go to your home folder just type cd
in most distris it will instantly teleport you to your home folder. You can tpye pwd
to see where you are, ideally it should print out something like this.
/home/$USERNAME
The $USERNAME
is the named path of your User. For example if you named it to penguin the output looks like
/home/penguin
There you'll find your .bashrc file now you can append this function with the editor of your choice
nano .bashrc or
vim .bashrc or whatever you use, you can also use a graphical one
gedit .bashrc or
mousepad -H .bashrc
Then you go to the bottom of the file and append this function
function cht() {
curl cht.sh/$1
}
Then you save your .bashrc
Close and open your terminal or type this
source .bashrc
And then you can look up the most used commands
You can even look up the basic programming structures of some languages
cht python/:learn
Or even rfc's :)
cht rfc/1234
Cheers :)
