Some examples and common uses would be nice...
Yeah. I recommend the TLDR terminal tool. You can contribute command TLDRs. If there is a one for said command, you can type
tldr comadand it will give you some valid uses and example commands.I knew about tldr, I'm old Linuxoid now, but didn't know you could contribute. I'll give it another go. By this point though... I've already been through the hellfire.
