Minimalist man pages with TLDR

Installation

npm install -g tldr

Example

How does tar work again? I always forget...

tldr tar

Result:

  tar

  Archiving utility.
  Often combined with a compression method, such as gzip or bzip2.
  More information: https://www.gnu.org/software/tar.

  - [c]reate an archive from [f]iles:
    tar cf target.tar file1 file2 file3

  - [c]reate a g[z]ipped archive from [f]iles:
    tar czf target.tar.gz file1 file2 file3

  - [c]reate a g[z]ipped archive from a directory using relative paths:
    tar czf target.tar.gz --directory=path/to/directory .

  - E[x]tract a (compressed) archive [f]ile into the current directory:
    tar xf source.tar[.gz|.bz2|.xz]

  - E[x]tract a (compressed) archive [f]ile into the target directory:
    tar xf source.tar[.gz|.bz2|.xz] --directory=directory

  - [c]reate a compressed archive from [f]iles, using [a]rchive suffix to determine the compression program:
    tar caf target.tar.xz file1 file2 file3

  - Lis[t] the contents of a tar [f]ile [v]erbosely:
    tar tvf source.tar

  - E[x]tract [f]iles matching a pattern:
    tar xf source.tar --wildcards "*.html"

That's it, keeping it minimalist.
