The main reason Terminals suck is the lack of any guides.
Imagine a CLI interface without commands, just selecting. That would still work everywhere and be easy to maintain, but it would be easy to use.
Or just having cheatsheets available
That makes Terminals useful for everyone
Cheat sheets are man pages and the -help option on most commands
Those exist already
They are mostly way too big. Try to get an easy curl command from the man page
I get that, but any extensive cheat sheet would just wrap around to being an inefficient man page
-helpis the quick sheet,manis the extensive guideCheatsheets are community maintained examples of common usage. Manpages are way too complex, help is not always available or useful but good
You need something like this https://github.com/isacikgoz/tldr
No just that small bash function
