    They could’ve just copy-pasted it! And --help should be a brief, easy-to-understand list of commands and explanations, not an extension

        Yeah. I recommend the TLDR terminal tool. You can contribute command TLDRs. If there is a one for said command, you can type tldr comad and 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.
