tldr pages

Community-maintained command-line cheat sheets that show practical examples instead of exhaustive manual pages.

The tldr project replaces dense man pages with focused, example-driven references for hundreds of CLI tools. Each page highlights the most-used commands and flag patterns with real syntax examples, skipping theory in favour of what developers actually type every day.

Why it is useful

Man pages are thorough but rarely answer the question you actually have right now. tldr cuts straight to the five most useful invocations of any command — the ones real engineers reach for daily. It is the bookmark that replaces Stack Overflow for CLI syntax questions.
