How I use navi for CLI cheatsheets

I am a heavy cli user since my early linux days on 1998, and the amount of tools I use have grown ever since so that it is hard to know the syntax of everything by mind. Some years ago I have discovered [navi](https://github.com/denisidoro/navi/tree/master/docs), which is a cli tool that helps with creating cheatsheets for commands and parameters that I use and which is great to help me categorize and add some small descriptions to what a command does and its params.

Hello there!

Case you’re wondering, I am a Brazilian Senior Web Developer (specialized in Python/Backend) who since 1994 has been tinkering with computers, started using Linux on a daily basis at 1999, bootstrapped a career as a Software Engineer at 2000, pivoted to web development on 2009 and became a self-employed contractor for english-speaking companies at 2022. You can check my resume/curriculum for more details.

I share my dot_files and the open source code I write on github.

Since writing is one of my passions, much of what you’ll read on this site is part of what I learned and documented on that journey.

The content on this site is automatically generated on my writing workflow which leverages git and github, neovim and lua, some python and bash scripts and hugo as a static site generator.

Most of the content here is somewhat related to:

  • software development (lots of python, my primary language)
  • Linux and related software/tooling
  • automation

Thank you for visiting, I hope the content here can also help you!
