Name conflict with Cheat, this project already exists... about cheat.sh HOT 4 CLOSED

We are of course aware of the beautiful cheat project and we even use it (what is documented in our README.md file), but please keep in mind that:

1. Our project is called cheat.sh and not cheat (for example xterm.js and xterm are two separated projects and xterm existed for decades before xterm.js; should they be renamed too from your point of view?);
2. We are trying to mitigate the impact by using cht.sh where possible;
3. We do not and did not ever use the name to steal, to borrow, or to somehow use popularity of cheat.

I do not see any naming conflct actually. The client/command is called cht.sh, does not even have cheat in their name.

I am a big fan of the cheat project myself, and I don't want to do any harm for it. Even more, as I said, I would prefer that we cooperate with that project.

Yep - there's no problem here, in my mind. Thanks, guys.

Email from Chris Allen Lane (@chrisallenlane) regarding the name controversy:

Hi, Igor

Thanks for reaching out to me.

Somehow I hadn't heard of cheat.sh before, but it's a hugely impressive
project. Thanks for bringing it to my attention!

Regarding your questions:

> 1. Because I wanted to thank you for your project and for
the cheat sheets you created;

My pleasure. Likewise, thanks for your work with cheat.sh.

> 2. Because of the name controversy;

Don't worry about it. "Namespace conflicts" like this are inevitable
from time to time, and, like you said, `cheat.sh` and `cheat` are
dissimilar enough to be distinguishable regardless.

Thanks.

I think that this issue can be closed now. I've contacted @chrisallenlane with cooperation proposals. If there will be any updates, I will keep you posted
