### What we like

Nothing to install - just curl the URL e.g. curl cht.sh/ls to get the cheat sheet for the ls command. Can also be queried by appending a search term after. Also covers programming languages & databases e.g. ask how to open a file with Golang with curl cht.sh/python/open+file

### Tradeoffs

There is a locally installable client, but it requires Python 2 and doesn’t install on Apple Silicon systems. Better to stick with the web client.
