Cheat sheet seems to have some outdated commands

Some commands from the cheat sheet seem to be outdated and need some love. This wiki aims to list all commands and check if it still works. If not, idea is to get the working command and update the cheat sheet with a PR on GitHub.
So, someone can test, report it here. Someone else can find the solution and another person can create a PR :slight_smile:

It didn’t work for us all previously because we tested it as root.
It must be run as normal user with devel-su -p.
I presume the cause is that root has no contacts.
