Laravel News:
TLDR Pages: Simplified and Community-Driven Man pages
Dec 05, 2017 @ 15:28:13

On the Laravel News site today they've posted about an effort that's been started to help create simple and community-driven man pages (documentation, manual pages) for command-line tools.

The TLDR pages (too long; didn’t read) is a command-line project that aims to simplify man pages with useful, terse examples of commands. This CLI tool gives me even less reason to memorize the tar and curl flags.

The way the TLDR command works after you’ve installed it is by passing it a command for which you’d like to learn practical uses without combing the full manual.

The article shows how to install this tldr package via npm and make it global on your system to be able to use it anywhere. There are also options for other languages if Node.js isn't your thing. You can find out more about the tool and what features it offers over on the project homepage. They also link to the repository if you'd like to contribute back to the documentation.
