Comment by valbaca 4 years ago tldr is one of the best things to happen to the command line 2 comments valbaca Reply MonkeyClub 4 years ago I'm probably missing something here, but it seems to me that it's just a summary of the command plus a few examples?I usually just man the command and / my way either to the Examples section, or search for whatever other question I may have.But I'm on OpenBSD, where man pages are worth the time you spend reading them.Other than that, although I always intend to add useful stuff to my ~/txt/scratch, in the end it's either Ctrl-R or history | grep. xupybd 4 years ago Man pages are worth reading. Once you have a good handle on the command TLDR is great. It gives you you just enough to jog your memory.Searching history or keeping your own notes work but this is easier for me. Everyone finds a work flow they like. It might not be the tool for you.
