It's linked by their readme, but I've been using a similar command line tool, Bro (http://bropages.org/), for years and am very happy with it. The fact that Bro supports adding new entries (and upvoting the ones you find useful) directly from the command line has made me 100x more likely to contribute myself. (The fact that this project requires a GitHub pull request is a major barrier in this respect.)

Wow these bropages are just amazing. I read about it on HN but then totally forgot about it. Just tried it again now, it's just wonderful. I think I learned a lot of useful `sed` just by looking at those examples only. Great share, thanks!

There's also manly, which is a cli tool for interpreting commands and showing you what they do.

This or any similar project should run on IPFS. How is this an open community driven if it's dependent on a single private centralized entity ?

What happens if they disappear ? The amount of public effort made should stay public with no dependency on a private entity

I hope you realize that Git is a decentralized version control system regardless of where you choose to host the repo.
