Hi
The manpages are often too big if you just want to look something up but help does not always provide an usage example. Close the terminal, open a browser and google the problem is therefore a solution but a very slow one. So luckily I found some projects which try to give some examples for the usage of a program.
Until now i've found
https://github.com/gleitz/howdoi
https://github.com/tldr-pages/tldr
https://github.com/chrisallenlane/cheat
https://github.com/srsudar/eg
https://bropages.org
I tried cheat.sh a bit but the results are often too long to fit on my screen and in some cases (eg awk) there are simply to few functions covered to get at least some majority of my queries answered. So I had too look out for alternatives and trying no howdoi.
May be anybody here has also some expierence with one of these / similar programs?
