I put this together out of frustration of either having to browse the web or install tools inside Docker to see manpages when working on a non-Linux system.\n\n## Usage\nman-get behaves similarly to man. When a section is unspecified, it will download all available sections for the given pages. You can open these sections with `man` after appending the data path to the `MANPATH` environment variable. Since it supports the XDG Base Directory spec, you can override this path by setting `XDG_DATA_HOME`.\n\nman-get caches fetched indexes from the Debian package mirror to be friendly to their servers. The cache path can also be overridden by setting `XDG_CACHE_HOME`.\n\n```\n$ man-get tar\nDownloaded TAR(1) to ~/.local/share/man-get/man1/tar.1.gz\nDownloaded TAR(5) to ~/.local/share/man-get/man5/tar.5.gz\nAppend ~/.local/share/man-get to your MANPATH to open the downloaded manpages:\n\n        Bash/Zsh:\n        $ export MANPATH=\"$MANPATH:/Users/connor.edwards/.local/share/man-get\"\n\n        Fish:\n        $ set -x MANPATH \"$MANPATH:/Users/connor.edwards/.local/share/man-get\"\n$ man-get 1 ed\nDownloaded ED(1) to ~/.local/share/man-get/man1/ed.1.gz\nAppend ~/.local/share/man-get to your MANPATH to open the downloaded manpages:\n\n        Bash/Zsh:\n        $ export MANPATH=\"$MANPATH:/Users/connor.edwards/.local/share/man-get\"\n\n        Fish:\n        $ set -x MANPATH \"$MANPATH:/Users/connor.edwards/.local/share/man-get\"\n$ export MANPATH=\"$MANPATH:/Users/connor.edwards/.local/share/man-get\"\n$ man tar\n$ man ed\n```","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fcedws%2Fman-get","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fcedws%2Fman-get","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fcedws%2Fman-get/lists"}
