Cheat (sort of like "man" mixed with a cheatsheet)

I just learned about this. Handy little tool!

man is great for learning the nitty gritty about commands, but it doesn't quickly answer how to do common tasks. cheat does.

It's a two-step process to install cheat if you don't already have pip, so here's the commands to run:

sudo apt install pip

then

pip install cheat

Now you should have /usr/local/bin/cheat and you can run it with a command, sort of like man, except it'll print out whatever it has and exit, e.g.:

Pretty handy. :grin:
