Apologies for any duplication/irrelevance
https://github.com/chubin/cheat.sh

Command line tool that accesses hundreds of cheat sheets. Well, way more than that: it’s got an NLP engine that allows you to ask for questions.


Unified access to the best community driven cheat sheets repositories of the world.

Let's imagine for a moment that there is such a thing as an ideal cheat sheet. What should it look like? What features should it have?
   
   - Concise — It should only contain the things you need, and nothing else.
   - Fast — It should be possible to use it instantly.
   - Comprehensive — It should contain answers for every possible question.
   - Universal — It should be available everywhere, anytime, without any preparations.
   - Unobtrusive — It should not distract you from your main task.
   - Tutoring — It should help you to learn the subject.
   - Inconspicuous — It should be possible to use it completely unnoticed.

Such a thing exists! It's easy to install and there's even auto-complete.
