### Browsing through cheatsheet repositories

You can find cheatsheet repositories with:
```sh
navi repo browse
```

### Importing cheatsheets

You can import cheatsheets from any git repository that includes `.cheat` files:
```sh
navi repo add https://github.com/denisidoro/cheats
```

### Adding your own cheatsheets

You can either start a git repo with cheatsheets and import it as described above or you can add them directly to [data_dir](https://github.com/soc/dirs-rs#Features)`/navi`.

### Submitting cheatsheets

The main repository for cheatsheets is [denisidoro/cheats](https://github.com/denisidoro/cheats). Feel free to open a PR there for me to include your contributions.

In order to add your own repository as a featured cheatsheet repo, please [edit this file](https://github.com/denisidoro/cheats/edit/master/featured_repos.txt). This list will be displayed when `navi repo browse` is run.

### Using cheatsheets from other tools

![Demo](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/3226564/91878474-bae27500-ec55-11ea-8b19-17876178e887.gif)

You can use cheatsheets from [tldr](https://github.com/tldr-pages/tldr) by running:
```sh
navi --tldr <query>
```

You can use cheatsheets from [cheat.sh](https://github.com/chubin/cheat.sh) by running:
```sh
navi --cheatsh <query>
```

### Auto-updating repositories

Right now, **navi** doesn't have support for auto-updating out of the box. However, you can achieve this by using `git` and `crontab`.

First make sure you cloned your repo using `git` to the correct folder:
```sh
user="<user>"
repo="<repo>"
git clone "https://github.com/${user}/${repo}" "$(navi info cheats-path)/${user}__${repo}"
```

Then, add a cron job:
```sh
crontab -e
*/0 11 * * * bash -c 'cd "$(/usr/local/bin/navi info cheats-path)/<user>__<repo>" && /usr/local/bin/git pull -q origin master'
```

Please note the cron job above is just an example and you should edit it accordingly:
- In this example, the cron job is triggered every day at 11am. [crontab guru](https://crontab.guru/) may come in handy if you want to change this value
- The full paths to `navi` and `git` may differ in your setup. Check their actual values using `which navi` and `which git`
- Don't forget to replace `<user>__<repo>` with the actual folder name
