The only cheat sheet you need

Look in https://github.com/chubin/cheat.sh for more info.

See Motivation for reasons this software esists.

Installation

Just copy downloaded cht.exe to some of your %PATH% dir to use it from every console.

e.g.: copy cht.exe c:\windows\system32 (but you need privileges)

Usage

Info about shutdown command

cht shutdown

Reversing string in c, second alternative

cht c/reverse/2

Options

Similar as on obove pic; showing first alternative but now with -Q (or longer variant --query) which switches on query mode - space delimetered arguments are parts of query.

cht -Q c check file exsists /1

Get version info with -v (or longer variant --version) switch and config file location (if you do not where to store it). Currently only server can be defined there. Example of file:

CHTSH_URL="http://cht.sh" # since https:// protocol is not yet supported, default server
#CHTSH_URL=http://secret.my #my own server

add -T (or longer variant --no_colors) parameter not to use coloring at all

cht c/strcpy -T

Disabling coloring of saved files localy

cht file:///tmp/saved_file -T

Compiling

Windows

Due to document length it is located separately here

Linux

Simplest & quickest

sudo apt install build-essential libcurl4-openssl-dev
gcc -Wall cht.c simple_config.c -lcurl -o cht
sudo cp ./cht /usr/local/bin/ # "install" it

Static & full under control

sudo apt install build-essential libcurl4-openssl-dev cmake

download curl from https://curl.haxx.se/download.html,
unpack it to src folder and rename folder to curl (do not leave it like curl-x.y.z)

cd curl
cmake -DCURL_STATICLIB=ON .
make libcurl # we need only this mudule
cd ..
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ../src
make
sudo make install # install it to /usr/local/bin

TODO:

windows compile instructions
complete cmake
~~compile with openssl~~ → postponed since this is not needed for now
complete functionallity all features of the cht.sh command line
sorry Mac users, only tasted on Linux and winXP-10
