I remember, a long time ago, where people used to provide man pages or info documentation with their softwares.

@dad Oh, I just love man pages. So usable :) </sarcasm>

Thank goodness for tldr and, for when there really is no other option, ripgrep.

I just want info, man *and* tldr (though tldr is just a fix for the inability to write decent --help output … I could bet that git massively drove its adoption) @dad

It’s so annoying that people don’t write proper info pages.

And here I am curling documentation web pages and piping them through html2text so that I can read them in a console, and avoid futzing around with a mouse, a web browser, and Javascript LOL
