Simple one liner to cheat elegently | cheat.sh aliasing

cheat.sh

curl "http://cheat.sh/$*"

# doesnt work if you use $@ instead of $*
# because $* doesnt preserve spaces while $@ does

# https://www.shellscript.sh/variables2.html
# The first set of variables we will look at are $0 .. $9 and $#.
# The variable $0 is the basename of the program as it was called.
# $1 .. $9 are the first 9 additional parameters the script was called with.
# The variable $@ is all parameters $1 .. whatever. The variable $*, is similar,
# but does not preserve any whitespace, and quoting, so "File with spaces" becomes "File" "with" "spaces". This is similar to the echo stuff we looked at in A First Script. As a general rule, use $@ and avoid $*.
# $# is the number of parameters the script was called with.
# Let's take an example script:

edit: -l flag added to see output in less

# cheat.sh wrapper
