#113Slightly related is https://cheat.sh/ [0], which returns real-world examples of how to use a given command.
The results are nicely formatted and color-coded. Give it a try in your terminal:
curl https://cheat.sh/rsync

Tbf, 'ip addr' is even easier to remember as far as I'm concerned
'ip a' works too
I was so happy when I discovered this. As a UNIX and Linux user for my entire career I was so surprised that something built into every Cisco, Juniper, Arista etc etc network device wasn't built into many cli tools on Linux.
I know I can create aliases and whatnot, but I'm a consultant, when I was still hands on with the tools I'd log into 30+ different customer's environments every year. Many were isolated from the Internet and whilst I did carry my dotfiles around on a USB (Along with some binaries of useful tools that are so often lacking on enterprise systems) I couldn't always use them.

aliased as 'duck' to be work-friendly
Where do you work that anyone would care you use a command called « fuck »?
Damn, imagine working at a place where at the end of each day, the management goes through your shell history and includes it in a "performance review".

#116> But, Mike! What happens if I can't remember the oh-heck commands? > Well, first, calm yourself, you fool. Once you've regained your composure, just type `oh-heck` into Terminal and follow the steps you numbskull. I think that they're trying to be clever, but I prefer to not be insulted by my tools.
Personally I like getting insulted by my tools. I always put `Defaults insults` in my /etc/sudoers file so every time I enter the wrong password, I get insulted. I wish more tools supported this. I think computing in general is fun, and wish more tools had fun things like this. $ sudo whoami [sudo] password for user: Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries! [sudo] password for user: Your mind…
TIL.
Reminds me of the days installing sl on FreeBSD servers. Someone typos the most common and basic of commands and they watch a steam locomotive journey across their screen. It even has different versions based on common ls switches.
And I just found it's still available. https://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/displays-animations-when-acci...

Give it a try in your terminal: curl https://cheat.sh/rsync I've found it to be really handy for things like awk, rsync, ssh, and others with byzantine parameters. Not to mention it's free.
