Not very respectful of https://github.com/chrisallenlane/cheat to use the same name. The original cheat does exactly the same thing, has a big following and more stars, and has existed for years. I've opened an issue re: the name conflict https://github.com/chubin/cheat.sh/issues/34 Afaik these are the big players in the space: - bro: https://github.com/hubsmoke/bro - tldr: https://github.com/tldr-pages/tldr - cheat:…

I often wonder how much time people invest in the following before going off on their own:

1. Finding similar open source projects to what they want to exist

2. Digging into the project to see how close it is to what they want

3. Attempting to contribute to bend it to fit their needs

How much of these "really similar project" situations are "I want the project to be mine for marketing / brand / control reasons" vs "I didn't know this existed already"

Wow I love the idea. Will try it out today. Could be a time saving pal when switching to topics you are not working on every day.

# Sorry, we are experiencing extremely highload now. # We are working on the problem and how to get it fixed soon. # Please come back in several hours or try some other queries

Would be cool to get offline functionality...

How is it better than google

Google is nice yes but you find different styled results and those results are normed and you know what to expect.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Sure, but some are very short, and others are very long and impenetrable. I like ones with examples. A better option is often "foo -h".

Also, the times a manpage contains examples seems like 1 in 20.

Especially in sections 2 and 3. Including examples would greatly increase their usefulness and I wonder why the authors don't do that.
