My Cheatsheet for Commands and Stuff

Recently I have been noting down the commands I use :P I think it’s especially useful for commands that take quite some time for me to get right and I’m always searching the Internet or the command manuals or help text for the same thing again and again each time. And the search sometimes takes time - almost the same amount of time that took for me during the first time. So, I thought - why not just use my own reference? My own cheatsheet?

So I created this repo called cheatsheets - https://github.com/karuppiah7890/cheatsheets/ . I think this is a great start. I’m going to check all the commands I use slowly, and write them down here, based on the command name.

Currently I have gcloud, kubectl, jq and some more in my list. I haven’t written down the commands that I use for all of them. That’s gonna take some, there are quite a lot of commands. To start with, I’m just noting down the kind of commands that I use and their use case or what they do - based on which I form a question - like someone asking “how do I login?” and then I answer it with some text and commands. Next time I can’t remember how to do something, I could easily find from my cheatsheet instead of searching through my command history or checking the Internet or help text or manual from scratch. I have also seen a good alternative for this if the command is very very frequently used - you can save these commands with description and then use them very easily whenever you need it. Check this software called pet, I haven’t tried it out myself, but I guess I’ll soon. It looks promising!

Other than that, I guess if someone asks me about some command, I’ll just note it down here - it will be useful for others too, apart from me ;)
