navi Interactive Command Cheatsheet for Windows
A Windows command-line cheatsheet tool that searches, fills and runs local .cheat entries with dynamic parameters, repository imports and shell widgets.
What navi does
navi turns searchable .cheat files into an interactive command reference. It can fill parameters, show suggestions and place or run the resulting command from a shell or terminal workflow. The value is the local, reviewable knowledge base rather than a blind command launcher.
Treat cheatsheets as executable content
A cheatsheet entry may contain file, network, permission, remote or deployment commands, and a dynamic parameter may call an intermediate command. Read imported files offline, inspect the fully substituted command and test in a disposable directory before using a repository or enabling automatic updates.
Windows and PowerShell boundary
The Windows package may require shell.command to be set to powershell. Unix quoting, variables and pipelines do not automatically transfer to PowerShell, so keep platform-specific entries and verify the final command before execution.

navi Windows command cheatsheet guide
Build a small local cheatsheet, verify PowerShell configuration and review every substituted command before execution.
Before you start
- Use a normal-user PowerShell and a test directory without important files.
- Confirm the intended shell and check whether `shell.command` is set to powershell.
- Treat third-party `.cheat` files as code and inspect commands, variables, pipes and dynamic suggestions.
Installation steps
- 01
Extract the Windows package
Unpack the Windows x64 GNU ZIP archive to a fixed directory, verify the version and run help through the full path.
- 02
Configure the shell
Add the program directory to the user PATH and set the navi shell explicitly so PowerShell syntax is predictable.
- 03
Create a local cheatsheet
Start with read-only entries such as version or directory inspection, then test search, parameter filling and preview.
Quick start
- 01
Search local entries
Run navi, filter by tag or description and confirm that the displayed command and parameter candidates come from the expected file.
- 02
Inspect the full command
Replace sample parameters and review paths, quotes, redirects, pipes, deletion and network operations character by character.
- 03
Import a trusted repository
Back up local cheatsheets, review every new entry offline and test them one by one before enabling updates.
Usage tips
- Require manual input for destructive or publishing commands and avoid dangerous default values.
- Review dynamic suggestions as carefully as the final command because they may run intermediate commands.
- Pin or self-maintain production cheatsheets so an update does not silently change executable content.
Troubleshooting and uninstall
A Windows command or variable fails. What should I check?
Confirm `shell.command` is powershell and adapt Unix quotes, variables and pipeline syntax to PowerShell before testing again.
The selected command comes from an unexpected entry. How can I trace it?
Check cheatsheet search paths, repository priority, duplicate names and update history, then enable only a local directory while tracing the source.
- Remove navi and its cheatsheetsRemove the program directory from PATH, back up local configuration and review imported entries before deleting files or repositories.
Frequently asked questions
Does navi run the selected command automatically?
It can fill a cheatsheet and either place the command in the shell or run it depending on the invocation, so inspect the final command first.
Why might Windows need a PowerShell shell setting?
Some Windows setups require `shell.command` to be set to powershell so variables, quotes and pipelines use the intended syntax.
Is it safe to import any cheatsheet repository?
Review entries offline first because a cheatsheet can include file, network, permission or remote-execution commands.
