Working with cheatsheet repositories

Navi works best with what we call cheatsheet repositories, for more details see cheatsheet/repositories.

Manually adding cheatsheets to navi

If you don't want to work with cheatsheet repositories, you can manually add your cheatsheets to navi by putting them into the cheats_path of your platform.

You can find out your path using the info subcommands but a quick working command to go there would be:

• Before 2.25.0

  cd $(navi info cheats-path)
  

• After 2.25.0

  cd $(navi info default-cheats-path)
  

Choosing between queries and selection with variables

Navi lets you use different methods to fill a variable value, when prompted.

Keyboard key	Preference
tab	The query is preferred
enter	The selection is preferred

It means if you enter the tab key, navi will let you enter the value.

Using cheatsheets from other tools

Warning

Navi DOESN'T SUPPORT as of now importing cheatsheets from other tools but is able to work with TLDR and Cheat.sh.

You can use cheatsheets from tldr by running:

navi --tldr <query>

You can use cheatsheets from cheat.sh by running:

navi --cheatsh <query>
