    The downside of it is actually remembering to use it

    TLDR: I'm too stupid with programming to understand anything I just saw

    @2FA Perhaps a summary of the repo/project would help?

    Perhaps a tl;dr is better than a summary ;)

     

    @Jtalk4456 It's a project that's meant to supplement Linux man pages, such as the example on the repo page for tar, which has an honestly terrible man page if you don't already know how to use it. So instead of #man <command>, you do #tldr <command>.

     

    An example I can do quickly is the tldr and man page for pacman, the Arch/Manjaro package manager.

    not sure what a "man" page is, but are we referring to web development?

    ok what i'm getting is software documentation, as in a owners manual for a piece of software and how it works?

    pretty much, it's the equivalent of a help or /? switch on windows commands
