I just stumbled across this while trying to learn a bit more about using the command line, and thought others might appreciate it. It comes in a printable format so you can stick it up on your wall :)

Cheat.sh has usage examples, with short descriptions. It’s purpose is remembering something you have already done. It’s much more similar to --help flag than full manpage.

Reading the cheat.sh of a command I don’t know at all is rarely useful. I use it when simply listing the flags isn’t enough, or the output unhelpfully long. curl returns so fast that it’s faster to request data from external server than read through three paragraphs.

If you haven’t tried it, give it a go. The whole point is to be very quick to type and give back text that is fast to read.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
