Using curl as a substitute for man/help has made it one of my most used commands for me as of late:

curl cheat.sh/AnyLinuxCommand to view tldr/cheat tips

Also great for the weather via curl wttr.in

Hopefully more commands utilize this technique

Thanks for the tip! I sometimes use the program tldr for this purpose.

tldr is also baked into cheat.sh too! (But it's redundant if you already have tldr/bro/etc installed probably)

Unfortunately wttr.in produces incorrect weather reports in many cities around the world

Did not know about this. Care to elaborate?
