@Jrs,

In the terminal, the $ sign is often used as the default prompt symbol, which indicates that commands are executed as a normal user.

Similary, # sign in the prompt indicates that you are logged in as the root user.

What’s the point of providing a snippet to cut and paste into a terminal window to install a cheat if the snippet is so badly formatted that the cut-and-paste fails on all 5 lines? Here’s what you presented. The leading "$" in each of the snippet lines prevents them from running:

“To install and use it on Unix-like systems, you may simply paste the following snippet into your terminal:

$ cd /tmp 
$ wget https://github.com/cheat/cheat/releases/download/4.4.0/cheat-linux-amd64.gz 
$ gunzip cheat-linux-amd64.gz
$ chmod +x cheat-linux-amd64 
$ sudo mv cheat-linux-amd64 /usr/local/bin/cheat

You may need to change the version number…”

In Bash, type a few letters of the beginning of the command, press Tab, and you get all commands beginning with those letters. Add letters and press Tab again. Repeat until you only have one option, add flags and parameters and press Enter.

Note: Some terminal emulators sound the alarm beep when you press Tab, just press again and it should work.
