[](https://asciinema.org/a/406461) **navi** allows you to browse through cheatsheets (that you may write yourself or download from maintainers) and execute commands. Suggested values for arguments are dynamically displayed in a list. ## Pros - it will spare you from knowing CLIs by heart - it will spare you from copy-pasting output from intermediate commands - it will make you type less - it will teach you new one-liners It uses [fzf](https://github.com/junegunn/fzf), [skim](https://github.com/lotabout/skim), or [Alfred](https://www.alfredapp.com/) under the hood and it can be either used as a command or as a shell widget (_à la_ Ctrl-R). ## Table of contents - [Installation](#installation) - [Usage](#usage) - [Cheatsheet repositories](#cheatsheet-repositories) - [Cheatsheet syntax](#cheatsheet-syntax) - [Customization](#customization) - [More info](#more-info) - [Trying out online](#trying-out-online) - [Similar tools](#similar-tools) - [Etymology](#etymology) ## Installation **navi** can be installed with the following package managers: [](https://repology.org/project/navi/versions) The recommended way to install **navi** is by running: ```sh brew install navi ``` If `brew` isn't available, you can check [alternative install instructions](docs/installation.md). ## Usage There are multiple ways to use **navi**: - by typing `navi` in the terminal - pros: you have access to all possible subcommands and flags - as a [shell widget](docs/installation.md#installing-the-shell-widget) for the terminal - pros: the shell history is correctly populated (i.e. with the actual command you ran instead of `navi`) and you can edit the command as you wish before executing it - as a [Tmux widget](docs/tmux.md) - pros: you can use your cheatsheets in any command-line app even in SSH sessions - as [aliases](docs/cheatsheet_syntax.md#aliases) - as a [shell scripting tool](docs/shell_scripting.md) - as an [Alfred workflow](docs/alfred.md) In particular, check [these instructions](https://github.com/denisidoro/navi/issues/491) if you want to replicate what's shown in the demo above. ## Cheatsheet repositories Running **navi** for the first time will help you download and manage cheatsheets. By default, they are stored at `~/.local/share/navi/cheats/`. You can also: - [browse through featured cheatsheets](docs/cheatsheet_repositories.md#browsing-through-cheatsheet-repositories) - [import cheatsheets from git repositories](docs/cheatsheet_repositories.md#importing-cheatsheets) - [write your own cheatsheets](#cheatsheet-syntax) (and [share them](docs/cheatsheet_repositories.md#submitting-cheatsheets), if you want) - [use cheatsheets from other tools](docs/cheatsheet_repositories.md#using-cheatsheets-from-other-tools), such as [tldr](https://github.com/tldr-pages/tldr) and [cheat.sh](https://github.com/chubin/cheat.sh) - [auto-update repositories](docs/cheatsheet_repositories.md#auto-updating-repositories) - auto-export cheatsheets from your [TiddlyWiki](https://tiddlywiki.com/) notes using a [TiddlyWiki plugin](https://bimlas.github.io/tw5-navi-cheatsheet/) ## Cheatsheet syntax Cheatsheets are described in `.cheat` files that look like this: ```sh % git, code # Change branch git checkout <branch> $ branch: git branch | awk '{print $NF}' ``` The full syntax and examples can be found [here](docs/cheatsheet_syntax.md). ## Customization You can: - [setup your own config file](docs/navi_config.md) - [set custom paths for your config file and cheat sheets](docs/navi_config.md#paths-and-environment-variables) - [change colors](docs/navi_config.md#changing-colors) - [resize columns](docs/navi_config.md#resizing-columns) - [change how search is performed](docs/navi_config.md#overriding-fzf-options) ## More info Please run the following command to read more about all possible options: ```sh navi --help ``` In addition, please check the [/docs](docs) folder. ## Similar tools There are many similar projects out there ([beavr](https://github.com/denisidoro/beavr), [bro](https://github.com/hubsmoke/bro), [cheat](https://github.com/cheat/cheat), [cheat.sh](https://github.com/chubin/cheat.sh), [cmdmenu](https://github.com/amacfie/cmdmenu), [eg](https://github.com/srsudar/eg), [how2](https://github.com/santinic/how2), [howdoi](https://github.com/gleitz/howdoi), [Command Line Interface Pages](https://github.com/command-line-interface-pages) and [tldr](https://github.com/tldr-pages/tldr), to name a few). They are excellent projects, but **navi** remains unique in the following ways: - it's natural to write cheatsheets tailored to your needs - arguments are neither hardcoded nor a simple template ## Etymology [Navi](https://zelda.gamepedia.com/Navi) is a character from [The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time](https://zelda.gamepedia.com/Ocarina_of_Time) that provides [Link](https://zelda.gamepedia.com/Link) with a variety of clues to help him solve puzzles and make progress in his quest.
