Using cheat for getting help with unix commands.

There are lots of tools and commands in unix systems for various purposes. Some tools we need in our day to day activities but some tools are using very rarely. For both of these instances most of time we are facing forgetting the commands that relevant to a tool or a command. Even a tool that we are using daily sometimes we are getting trouble when we execute some commands we have not been used previously. And also sometimes even if we know the command we may forgot what actual does that command. So to identify those things there is a great tool called Cheat.

Using cheat in terminal you can get the usage of most of the unix tools and commands. And it's not like man. It gives us "what you want to do? and here is the command for it". 

How to install cheat?
If you have installed python simply run the following command

sudo pip install cheat

After you have installed  cheat you can just type cheat on the terminal and the tool which you need to get the details.

example:

Assume you need to get the commands related to tar

cheat tar

using the above command you can get the help of tar.

 You can also add your own cheats also. To add your own cheats or custom cheats that some one else has made, go to the ~/ .cheat/ and past the cheat file that you've created or the custom one.

you can run the cheats as above.
