I need this poster or canvas printed so I can hang it on my office wall...
Why not just use a gui? I don't need something hanging on my wall because it's all just easy clicking around. And when I do want to use the cli, it's very easy to bring up.
GUIs tend to only cover the common/basic usage. Which is easy to remember without a cheat sheet. When you need more advanced stuff then GUIs tend to become more of a sticking point I find. And with common workflows it is far easier to automate with the CLI then with a GUI.
Any half-decent GUI should cover everything shown in this cheatsheet. You'd have to do quite some voodoo witchcraft to need CLI these days. It's actually the reverse sometimes, when my terminal bretheren complain that I do too much witchcraft when I'm just tidying stuff up with a GUI.
