Universal flags (-u, -h, -t)

Maybe things like piping and redirects and other common CLI techniques with references to better documentation locations. Not reproduce the docs, but refer to other places where people can learn about them.

I started on the path of a common 'cheatsheet', then I found myself writing two cheatsheets, now I am suggesting a cheatsheet and a dx common things to know:

CLI Cheatsheet

1. How do I open a command line to a specific folder

• Mac
• Win: Shift+Right-Click on Folder, open Powershell Window here

2. Things that work in any command line and help you survive

• pwd, ls, cp, mv, cd, mkdir, rm, >, cat
• tab completion
• arrow up to go through cmd history

| pipe technically works but what comes behind it differs greatly.

3. Searching the CLI History

• Mac: Ctrl+R
• Win: F8
