About navi
navi lets you browse cheatsheets in the terminal and run the chosen command directly. Cheatsheets can be written yourself or downloaded from maintainers, and when a command needs arguments, navi shows a list of suggested values generated dynamically.
It saves memorising the flags of tools you use occasionally and copying output from one command into the next. It suits people who keep notes of useful commands and want them searchable and runnable.
Strengths
- Runs commands straight from the cheatsheet
- Dynamic suggestions for argument values
- Supports your own and shared cheatsheets
Limitations
- Useful only once you have or download cheatsheets
- Cheatsheet format takes some learning
