cch (commands cheatsheet)

cch is a command line tool that helps you save shell commands you learn in a cheatsheet so you don't forget them.

I created this tool because I was learning to use the terminal and I kept forgetting the commands I learned

dependancies

• tldr. you can install it with npm install -g tldr
• A Debian-based Linux distro. (this tool was only tested on Ubuntu and Kali Linux, but I don't see why it wouldn't work with other Linux distros.)

Installation

curl https://commands-cheatsheet.vercel.app/install_cch | bash

Usage

  - Save a shell command to commands cheatsheet:

  - start writng a bash script using cch bash_script_template:
