Offline usage for Windows (and also online usage)
Continued discussion from https://github.com/chubin/cheat.sh/issues/14
Make cht.sh usable on Windows (offline as well). Maybe create a separate cht.bat since Windows uses batch and not shell
@chubin you told me to remove pyICU from requirements.txt. How exactly do I do that. It has to be done from the repository right? Because it clones the repo and installs the requirements automatically
The problem with windows batch scripts, that they are not so functional as shell scripts, and in my opinion on the following should be taken in the longrun:
- Rewirte cht.sh in python, and make it available for pip, so that the installation will look like:
pip install cht
cht --standalone-install
Maybe should be done anyway, not only for Windows. Disadvantage: one still need Python on Windows which is not default anyway
2 Rewrite cht.sh in Go, and make it available as a binary on github, so that the installation will look like file dowload.
- Rewrite cht.sh in PowerShell; not really ueful for all platforms except windows, but potentially could be more interesting (better integration etc) for Windows.
I personally tend to (1).
pyICU
I will disable it by default
@chubin personally I love the idea of 1. It's simpler. I mean a small requirement like installing python isn't a big deal, it usually comes by default in Linux, as for Windows users this current way one would need curl (which is not default) and bash (not default as well). Python is very easy to install.

The cross-platform version of PowerShell is grossly underestimated. Having an object-based command-line is very useful.
Considering Linux already has the bash script and PowerShell can do everything the bash script does, I think this is the best option.

@ImportTaste I agree, we need a powershell equivalent something like -- cht.ps1.

@chubin Well, that's a valid point that it's for only for windows. However, unfortunately, there are still more windows user out there than linux.

Hello from Q4 2023, still enabled and causes trouble
