Brief is an app for browsing command-line cheatsheets written in Python, using GTK4 and Libadwaita. The data source is tldr-pages. It lets you search through thousands of command-line tools across multiple platforms and languages, providing simplified help pages.
- Works completely offline.
- Filter platform specific commands (Linux, Windows, Android, etc.).
- View command help pages in multiple available languages.
- Change the command argument format between long (
ls --all) or short (ls -a). - Lets you update the cache within the app to download the latest data.
You can clone this project and run it using Gnome Builder. The Python libraries used in this project are defined inside requirements.txt, which you may install if you want editor completions.
The entirety of the data used in this project is from tldr-pages and without their valuable work, this project wouldn't exist.
