I don't know if using spaced repetition works that well for "memorizing" code that you don't use normally. Coding is the kind of thing that you do where if something is done rarely, it's probably not something you need to commit to memory. Just do a look-up of it on Google or Stack Overflow. The thing you're memorizing is too conceptual, unlike a foreign word or phrase. This is somewhat related: I myself wrote an app to keep track of foreign phrases.[1] (I'm adding spaced repetition to review things just like Anki, too.) You write down the phrase in your source language (say English) and then the same phrase in your target language (say German). It works fine for that, but I found it ALSO useful for writing down hard-to-remember command lines I needed at work. For instance, I'd create an entry like this: for the source language phrase I'd type in something like "Start a build" and then in the target language phrase I'd type the actual command (typically very long and hard to memorize). When I needed to look up the command, I'd just type "start a build" or even just "build" (it shows multiple search results immediately like Google would). Then it's a matter of copy-pasting the command into the shell. You could do the same thing by writing a shell alias or a script with a descriptive name, but I found looking things up with descriptive words better.
