TLDR

tldr is a community effort to simplify command line utility man pages with useful examples. In addition to be hosted in a web client you can interact with tldr in the terminal using the tldr cli powered by node. Install it via npm:

npm install -g tldr

And use it by passing the command of interest as a paremeter to tldr:

tldr tmux

A gif that exemplifies using the tdlr cli to find information about how to use tar

For more information about the tldr command line utility, the avavailable clients and how to contribute take a look at the tldr wiki.
