# tldr++

Community driven man pages improved with smart user interaction. **tldr++** seperates itself from any other tldr client with convenient user guidance feature.

## Features

- Fully Interactive (fill the command arguments easily)

- Search from commands to find your desired command (exact + fuzzy search)

- Smart file suggestions (further suggestions will be added)

- Simple implementation

- One of the fastest clients, even fastest (see [Benchmarks](https://github.com/isacikgoz/tldr/wiki/Benchmarks))

- Easy to install. Supports all mainstream OS and platforms (Linux, MacOS, *Windows (*`v1.0` *excluded for a while*)(arm, x86)

- Pure-go (*even contains built-in git*)

## Installation

Refer to [Release Page](https://github.com/isacikgoz/tldr/releases) for binaries.

Or, you can build from source: (min. **go 1.18** compiler is recommended)

```bash

go install github.com/isacikgoz/tldr/cmd/tldr@latest

```

### macOS using brew

```bash

brew install isacikgoz/taps/tldr

```

### Windows using scoop

This is maintained by community and the version is `v0.6.1`. (`v1.0.0` does not have Windows support yet)

```powershell

scoop install tldr

```

## Use for different OS

You can use tldr++ for another OS by setting `TLDR_OS` envrionment to your desired OS such as `linux`, `windows`, `osx` etc.

Let's say you want to set it to Linux run the following command:

```bash

export TLDR_OS=linux

```

To make it permenant, you can add the line above to your shell rc file (e.g. `bashrc`, `zshrc` etc.)
