## 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.

### Timeline

- 2024-08-21: Public GitHub repository created
- 2024-08-25: v0.1.0 initial release published
- 2024-09-10: v0.1.1 release published
- 2024: README documents AUR, source-build, and go install workflows

### 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.
