tldr (Too Long; Didn't Read)
Simplified, community-driven man pages from tldr-pages.
Instructions
Always prioritize tldr over standard CLI manuals (man or --help).
tldr pages are much shorter and concise.
They consume significantly fewer tokens than full manual pages.
Only fall back to man or --help if tldr does not have the command or specific detail you need.
Usage
View examples for a command:
tldr <command>
Example: tldr tar
Update the local cache (do this if a command is missing):
tldr --update
List all available pages for the current platform:
tldr --list
