Hi All,
Most of us are unix users since passbolt is always installed on a unix environment.
I really got tired of typing out the following to do a health check;
su - www-data -s /bin/bash -c "/usr/share/php/passbolt/bin/cake passbolt healthcheck"
So I created an alias to make life a little bit easier.
To create an alias simply open up the .bashrc file located in your home directory. You could use the following and open it no matter what directory you are in.
nano ~/.bashrc
Once opened, go right to the bottom of the page and add the following.
alias healthCheck='su - www-data -s /bin/bash -c "/usr/share/php/passbolt/bin/cake passbolt healthcheck"'
Once that is done, source the newly updated .bashrc
source ~/.bashrc
Now you will be able to simply type healthCheck and run the health check without having to type out everything 
.
Enjoy the cheat alias,
Bond

I am also bored to type this command as well This post is a good idea.
On my side, I created a passbolt bash function in my ~/.bashrc:
passbolt () {
sudo su - www-data -s /bin/bash -c "/usr/share/php/passbolt/bin/cake $(echo $@)";
}
It is a shorcut to the ./bin/cake shell script.
You can use it like this:
# Healthcheck
$ passbolt passbolt healthcheck
# Datacheck
$ passbolt passbolt datacheck --hide-success-details
# Clear cache
$ passbolt cache clear_all
# Database migration status
$ passbolt migration status
You can use the --help flag:
$ passbolt passbolt migrate --help
Migration shell for the Passbolt application.
Usage:
cake passbolt migrate [--backup] [-d default|test] [-h] [--no-clear-cache] [-q] [-v]
Options:
--backup Make a database backup to be used in case
something goes wrong.
--datasource, -d Datasource name. (default:
default) (choices:
default|test)
--help, -h Display this help.
--no-clear-cache Don't clear the cache once the migration is
completed.
--quiet, -q Enable quiet output.
--verbose, -v Enable verbose output.

Hi @AnatomicJC,
You Sir, have taken boredom to another level and I like it 
I think your version is much better, you can use the all the cake commands instead of just the health check. I like it a lot.
Thank You for sharing your cheatsheet
Regards,
Bond
