This is both a command line tool and a web service that gives you a "too long: didn’t read" version of a man(ual) page. And frankly, who’s reading man pages anyway? Not me, I live by the seat of my pants!

What’s really cool is that if docs are missing, you can contribute yourself ([here’s the source to the output above](https://github.com/tldr-pages/tldr/blob/master/pages/common/curl.md)).
I’ve even gone ahead an aliased tldr to help using alias help="tldr", so now I can type "help curl" in the command line 💪
My [terminal.training](https://terminal.training) also offers a free 5 part mini course if you want a few extra command line tips.
