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.

View examples for a command:

tldr <command>

Example: tldr tar

Update the local cache (do this if a command is missing):

tldr --update
