I’ve recently been looking into some tools that provide quick or painless help like pop up snippets with descriptions and cheat sheets, got any recommendations?

But for Git, I can't recommend lazygit enough. It's an incredible piece of software:

Just handroll one, I wrote one in python, use an sqlite db, call out to fzf and voila you have the perfect tool. Codex can prob one shot it
