What it is
This is a collection of compact reference cards, written in Chinese, covering programming languages such as Bash, JavaScript, Go, Python and others, plus tools like Git, Tmux, Gdb, Adb and FFmpeg, and editors like Vim, Nano and Emacs. Each entry is a single file meant to be scanned quickly when you forget a command or syntax. The README says the project was started because Chinese-language reference material was scarce and uneven in quality.
- Look up common Vim or Nano editing commands while working in a terminal
- Check Git or Tmux commands without searching the web
- Find Gdb or Adb command reminders while debugging or using Android tools
- Reference Bash or Go syntax while writing scripts
Great for
- Chinese-speaking developers who want quick command or syntax reminders
- Students learning Linux, Vim or Git basics who prefer a short reference
- Developers who look up commands often and want a single-file reference per tool
Not ideal for
- Readers who need English-language documentation, since the README describes Chinese-language content
- People looking for in-depth tutorials, because the project says it favors short cheatsheets over long articles
- Anyone who needs a runnable application; this repository is a set of reference files rather than software to install

Downloads
Strengths
- Content is organized by language, tool and editor, which makes the index easy to scan
- Each cheatsheet is a single file, so it is quick to open and search
- Released under the MIT license, so the files can be reused under its terms
Trade-offs
- The README is in Chinese and the content is primarily in Chinese, which may limit use for other readers
- The README describes a short, selective collection, so tools not listed will not be covered
- The README does not describe update frequency or version tracking for individual cheatsheets
