Yeah I found this via HN a couple years ago. This along with the following links will help anyone getting into sysadmin work: https://github.com/jlevy/the-art-of-command-line | https://www.bento.io/grid | https://www.sqlteaching.com/
https://nixsrv.com/llthw is the real deal (IMHO).
I used to know a lot of this stuff. With Puppet, Chef, and then Ansible, I've found myself needing to know less and less of it.
Bro Pages (instead of "man" pages) is a similar resource I find myself using surprisingly often http://bropages.org/browse
That project is a symptom of manual pages not having good “EXAMPLES” sections. The examples on that web page should be contributed upstream to the manuals pages of the software that they are for. If you want a fast way to read the EXAMPLES section only for a command, here is a shell function which creates an ‘eg’ command which only displays the “EXAMPLES” section of manual pages: eg(){ MAN_KEEP_FORMATTING=1 man "$@"…
A different (but related) resource: http://explainshell.com - good for deciphering those tricker commands.

Can you give me an example? What I’d do it look at the Debian package, which both documents where upstream is and has a bugtracker of its own which you can submit suggestions to, and the Debian maintainer should forward the submission to upstream if appropriate.
