history
Project history and usage
gocheat is a terminal UI cheatsheet app for remembering keybindings, hotkeys, aliases, and similar short notes. It is a small productivity package built around fast lookup, fuzzy filtering, tags, and direct editing from the TUI.
Project history
The public repository was created in August 2024. The README explains the motivation plainly: the author had many keybinds and aliases to remember and wanted a way to look them up in seconds. The first GitHub release, v0.1.0, was published on August 25, 2024, followed by v0.1.1 on September 10, 2024.
Adoption history
gocheat is young and lightweight, so its adoption record is correspondingly modest. It is packaged for Homebrew as brew:gocheat, appears in the input facts as also mapped to Nix, and its README documents Arch AUR installation, source builds, and go install.
How it is used
Users launch the TUI, add entries for keybindings or aliases, filter by text or tag, and edit the JSON configuration directly at ~/.config/gocheat/config.json when preferred. The README documents keyboard actions for adding, deleting, filtering, switching tag mode, showing tags, and exiting.
Why package nerds care
The package is a tidy example of the Bubble Tea-era terminal-app trend: a single Go binary wraps a personal text database with a polished TUI, then package managers distribute it like any other small CLI. Its significance is local productivity rather than ecosystem infrastructure.

Related projects
- gocheat is related by workflow to cheat-sheet and command-reference CLIs, but its interface is closer to modern Go TUIs built with Bubble Tea-style libraries.
- It is adjacent to personal knowledge and keybinding helpers rather than team documentation systems.
