tldr-man

A Makefile that creates manpages from all the tldr-pages.

Usage

  1. Install ronn if you don't have it: gem install ronn

  2. Put Makefile in the folder where want to store the generated manpages.

  3. Run make in said folder.

  4. Make an alias for man: alias tldr="man -M ~/my_folder"

Done! You can now type tldr to show a tldr-page instead of a manpage. Example: tldr man

Why?

The problem with man isn't man. Some manuals could be shorter, and tldr is a good substitute. But man can still be used to read the tldr-pages! I didn't want an extra program just to read tldr-pages, so I made this instead.
