Dixchete

*Note: The nice title and fonts don't render on GitHub browser.*

### Includes:
- Copy paste commands on this README
- A command line tool to quickly accessing your computer's specs

### Command line tool Features

1. Interactive CLI interface with ASCII art display
2. Color-coded command categories and outputs
3. Fuzzy matching for category names
4. Execute commands directly or copy to clipboard
5. A navigatable menu to choose multiple options without restarting command prompt
6. Real-time command output display

> #### WHY?: I was having trouble quickly getting my computer specs when shopping for components, so I decided to create a cheat sheet of commands for easy reference, accessible by the command line.

## Dependencies:

1. [Go](https://go.dev/dl/) - Download and install Go for your OS
2. Go must be added to PATH:
```cmd
setx GOPATH "%USERPROFILE%\go"
setx PATH "%PATH%;%USERPROFILE%\go\bin"
```

3. Add dixchete to PATH:
```cmd
setx PATH "%PATH%;C:\Program Files\dixchete"
```

4. Install the ASCII converter:
```go
go get -u github.com/qeesung/image2ascii/convert
```

## Installation

Build it yourself since the .exe isn't signed:

```go
go mod init dixchete
go build -o dixchete.exe dixchete.go
mkdir "C:\Program Files\dixchete"
move dixchete.exe "C:\Program Files\dixchete"
```

To use, simply run:
```bash
dixchete
```

## Navigation Guide

#### Main Menu
- Select a category by:
1. Entering the category number (1-4)
2. Typing partial category name
3. Press 'q' to quit

#### Category Menu
- Within a category:
1. Enter command number to select it
2. Press Enter to go back

#### Command Menu
- For selected commands:
1. Press Enter to go back
2. Enter 'p' to print command
3. Enter 'e' to execute command
4. Enter 'q' to quit
