Show HN: Terminal Cheat Sheet – get started using terminal

Hi folks! This idea came to life after a friend asked for a guide to get started using the terminal on their MacBook. Though there are sites/pages that are workable, none quite matched the goals of approachability, accessibility, great UX, and performance that I was aiming for.

Terminal Cheat Sheet is the result of the collaboration between me and my friend [1] to try to meet those goals.

It maximizes approachability through straightforward content and localizing, accessibility through best practices like WCAG [2], and performance through the use of static content. It's also meant to complement, not replace, options like man pages or detailed user guides.

We started with the most essential commands and a few guides for now, and we're really looking for constructive feedback. Would this help folks get up and running on the terminal for the first time? What additional guides would help with that? Are you interested in helping us translate to other languages?

If you have any questions or ideas, please comment, reach out, or add an issue to the repo. PRs welcomed [3].
