Hi, welcome to cheat (http://cheat.errtheblog.com).
Thanks for trying it out.
Be aware that the ENTIRE world will see your cheat sheets!
Here are a few commands to get you started.
===========================================
Installation:
$ gem install cheat
Recently added cheat sheets:
$ cheat recent
All cheat sheets:
$ cheat sheets
The `strftime' cheat sheet:
$ cheat strftime
View a cheat sheet in TextMate:
$ cheat strftime | mate
Less or more, for scrolly terminal:
$ cheat strftime | less
$ cheat strftime | more
Print a cheat sheet
$ cheat strftime | lpr
To edit a cheat sheet, use the --edit switch.
$ cheat markaby --edit
To add a cheat sheet, use the --add switch.
$ cheat readme --add
Do you not use CAPITAL letters in the name, or it will be lost in the void, due
to cheat bugs.
To use a different editor (such as TextMate) for --edit and --add, set the
VISUAL (or EDITOR) environment variable:
$ export VISUAL='mate -w'
To see versions of a sheet, use the --versions switch.
$ cheat rspec --versions
To see a diff to the current version, use the --diff switch.
$ cheat rspec --diff 5
To see a diff between two versions, use the start:end format.
$ cheat rspec --diff 5:7
Sheets are cached locally in ~/.cheat. To clear your cache, pass --new to
cheat. You won't get updates unless you do this.
$ cheat --new
$ cheat strftime --new
And to get all cached locally, you could do
$ cheat sheets | grep '^ ' | xargs -n 1 -I {} bash -c 'cheat {} | :'
** There's no need to run this in a screen or to sit and watch it while it runs.
The -I argument to xargs allows you to specify where in the command the
current arg should go. The `| :` is a Bash construct to automatically discard
output (and it is faster than `> /dev/null`.
