The tldr-pages project is a collection of community-maintained help pages for command-line tools, that aims to be a simpler, more approachable complement to traditional man pages.- https://github.com/tldr-pages/tldr

Nice tool. Here's an example:
$ tldr df
df
Gives an overview of the filesystem disk space usage.
More information: https://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/df.
- Display all filesystems and their disk usage:
df
- Display all filesystems and their disk usage in human readable form:
df -h
- Display the filesystem and its disk usage containing the given file or directory:
df path/to/file_or_directory
- Display statistics on the number of free inodes:
df -i
- Display filesystems but exclude the specified types:
df -x squashfs -x tmpfs
The tldr tool was mentioned in the article "5 modern alternatives to essential Linux command-line tools".
I installed it in Debian and in Kubuntu with:
$ sudo apt install tldr
And, I added it in Arch with:
$ sudo pacman -S tldr
Looks like the tldr-pages project will nicely complement the (still) all-important man pages. It's very nice to have a few command examples at the fingertips, no question.
