The command "cheat -e ${command}" is used to display or edit cheatsheets for various commands in the terminal.

The "cheat" command is a utility tool for creating and managing cheatsheets in the command line. Cheatsheets provide quick reference guides or notes for various commands, programs, or scripting languages.

The "-e" flag is used to open and edit cheatsheets. When used with the "cheat" command, it allows you to view and modify the content of a specific cheatsheet.

"${command}" is a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual command name. For example, if you want to view or edit the cheatsheet for the "ls" command, you would use "cheat -e ls".

Upon execution, the command will open the cheatsheet file associated with the specified command in a text editor, allowing you to add, modify, or remove notes or tips related to that specific command.
