cheat allows you to create and view interactive cheatsheets on the command line. It was designed to help remind *nix system administrators of options for commands that they use frequently, but not frequently enough to remember. Flags may be combined in intuitive ways. Example: to search sheets on the "personal" cheatpath that are tagged with "networking" and match a regex. Cheatsheets are plain-text files with no file extension, and are named according to the command used to view them. Cheatsheet text may optionally be preceded by a YAML frontmatter header that assigns tags and specifies syntax. Cheatsheets are stored on "cheatpaths", which are directories that contain cheatsheets. Cheatpaths are specified in the conf.yml file. It can be useful to configure cheat against multiple cheatpaths. A common pattern is to store cheatsheets from multiple repositories on individual cheatpaths.
