# howtos
A curated collection of usage guides and cheatsheets for tools, languages, and workflows.
## Purpose
Quick-reference documentation — concise, searchable, copy-pasteable. Each topic lives in its own file under `topics/`.
## Structure
```
topics/
<topic>.md # One file per subject
docs/
USAGE.md # How to use this collection
CHEATSHEET.md # Meta cheatsheet (formatting conventions)
INSTALL.md # Setup (minimal)
```
## Quick Start
Browse `topics/` and open any `.md` file. Each howto follows a consistent format:
- **Title** — what the tool/topic is
- **Common commands** — the 20% you use 80% of the time
- **Examples** — real-world usage
- **Gotchas** — things that bite
## Adding a New Topic
```bash
cp docs/TEMPLATE.md topics/<topic>.md
# Edit and fill in sections
```
## Conventions
- One topic per file, lowercase hyphenated names (`docker-compose.md`, `git-rebase.md`)
- Code blocks with language hints for syntax highlighting
- Keep each file under 200 lines — split if larger
- Mark optional flags/args with `[]`
