Too Long; Didn’t Read - or as an acronym: TL;DR. It’s also very useful cli application. A collection of simplified and community-driven man pages - When I saw this I knew I have to set it up on all my machines immediately.

Finally, after years, I am able to extract the archive on Linux without checking Google first, instead, I tldr it.

$ tldr tar

 tar

 Archiving utility.
 Often combined with a compression method, such as gzip or bzip.

 - Create an archive from files:
 tar cf target.tar file1 file2 file3

 - Create a gzipped archive:
 tar czf target.tar.gz file1 file2 file3

 - Extract an archive in a target folder:
 tar xf source.tar -C folder

Installing tldr

If you are node user, you can install it with single command npm install -g tldr. You can also use the implementation in other languages, check the official repo for other clients.
