i like this "tldr" project which is basically a tool that you type "tldr tar" and it loads a crowdsourced markdown file thats just usage examples of the command.

@icedquinn i hope it comes with an “rtfm” command that’s just an alias to man.

@mr64bit it exists *because* the man pages for things like tar and ffmpeg are nightmares.

@icedquinn Fair enough. guess I'll have to go the hard route and `alias rtfm=man` myself.

@mr64bit @icedquinn you haven't typed "tar -xvzf file-i-downloaded.tgz" enough times to have it be muscle.memory?

@bamfic @icedquinn For tar? definitely, the simple use cases are easy enough to remember. Doesn't mean we can't joke about it, especially for commands that have both BSD and UNIX style arguments. ps(1) for example still trips me up sometimes if I need something other than `ps -ef`
