cheat

Reimplementation of Chris Lane's cheatsheet script in Go.

I'm mostly doing this as a means of learning Go as it seemed like a nice first project to start with.

Setup

Install: go get github.com/dufferzafar/cheat

Fetch cheatsheets: cheat fetch

Test: cheat show git

Usage

~/.cheatrc - A JSON based config file which stores basic configuration.

cheat show git - Show the git cheatsheet

cheat edit git - Edit the git sheet. A new one will be created if it doesn't already exist.

cheat show git --copy 12 - Copy the 12th cheat from the sheet

cheat fetch - When you feel like updating the sheets.

Todo

• Autocomplete commands and available cheats for bash and zsh

• Allow multiple cheat directories

• cheat fetch command to fetch all the cheatsheets from a repo.

• Or execute a command by, cheat git 12 ?

• Colors on the AppHelpTemplate.

• User's favorite editor, with support for command line parameters.

• Wrap the output to a fit width? like 79 characters?

• Update cheat sheets from chris' repo, cheat --update for updating it the safe way, and cheat --update --force for overwriting all the cheats with the downloaded version.

• Should grep support be added? or can that be achived by grepping things?
