But the keyword in there is “good” cheat sheet. Simply put, not all of them are created equal. Sometimes you can spend weeks looking for the perfect, tailor-made cheat sheet that fits your personal workflow perfectly, highlights all the stuff that you don’t remember and ignores everything you do. That said, you may need to tweak them for your specific usage or compile different cheat sheets in order to get to one that fits your needs.
To make this easier on everybody, we’ve gathered a rather massive list of 170+ great PDF and online cheat sheets for web development, design, tools and more. I’m sure you’ll find at least a couple of them here that you’ll end up using regularly.
Quick jump:
1. WordPress: CSS | HTML | PHP & JavaScript & jQuery | MySQL | React & REST API
2. Design: Typography | Figma | Adobe | UX and UI | Color
3. (Bonus) Development: Python | Git | Linux | SQL | Vim
💡 Note; Sorry, but we couldn’t find the authors of some of these cheat sheets. For most of them, though, you can find the author’s copyright clause + a link to their site at the bottom of the cheat sheet.
