        A TLDR alternative to man pages
        While a man page is for every possible flag available for a command,
        A tldr is for the most common tasks a command can do.

        tldr fc
        
        fc
        
          Open the most recent command for editing and then run it.
          More information: https://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/bash.html#index-fc.
        
          - Open the last command in the default system editor and run it after editing:
            fc
        
          - Specify an editor to open with:
            fc -e 'emacs'
        
          - List recent commands from history:
            fc -l
        
          - List recent commands in reverse order:
            fc -l -r
        
          - Edit and run a command from history:
            fc number
        
          - Edit commands in a given interval and run them:
            fc '416' '420'
        
          - Display help:
