I just stumbled across this while trying to learn a bit more about using the command line, and thought others might appreciate it. It comes in a printable format so you can stick it up on your wall :)

Cheat.sh has usage examples, with short descriptions. It’s purpose is remembering something you have already done. It’s much more similar to --help flag than full manpage.
Reading the cheat.sh of a command I don’t know at all is rarely useful. I use it when simply listing the flags isn’t enough, or the output unhelpfully long. curl returns so fast that it’s faster to request data from external server than read through three paragraphs.
If you haven’t tried it, give it a go. The whole point is to be very quick to type and give back text that is fast to read.
