<p><code>tldr</code> is a command-line tool that I've been using a lot recently.</p>
<p>Usually, on the command line, you'd use the <code>man</code> command to show a manual page for a certain command - like <code>man ls</code>.</p>
<p><code>tldr</code> is "a collection of simplified and community-driven man pages".</p>
<p>After installing it, run <code>man tldr</code> or even <code>tldr tldr</code> to learn more about it.</p>
<p>Then, run a command like <code>tldr ls</code> to get output for a specific command.</p>
<p>I like that it shows a short description of what the command does, followed by a link to find out more information and then several valuable examples demonstrating the various options, flags, and arguments the command takes.</p>
<p>For <code>ls</code>, it shows how to list one file per line, list hidden files, use a long format list, show human-readable size units, long format sorted by size or modification date, and only show directories.</p>
<p>For commands like <code>tar</code>, <code>rsync</code>, and <code>scp</code> that I don't use that often or can't remember all of the different options, I like being able to see these examples and figure out what I need at that time.</p>
