About:
Halp is a command-line utility designed to help users find help resources for other CLI tools. It aggregates documentation, man pages, and cheat sheets, directing users to the most relevant information quickly. This streamlines the learning process for developers navigating complex command ecosystems.
Key Features:
  • Unified search interface for CLI documentation
  • Supports multiple sources (tldr, man pages, cheat.sh)
  • Fast lookup with intelligent suggestions
  • Customizable source preferences
Use Cases:
  • Quickly finding usage examples for unfamiliar commands
  • Bridging the gap between basic help and full manual pages
  • Assisting developers in discovering the best documentation source
Alternatives:
  • tldr – Halp acts as a meta-wrapper, often routing to tldr pages alongside other sources, whereas tldr is a standalone simplified man page reader.
  • cheat.sh – Halp can fetch cheat.sh data locally via CLI, while cheat.sh is primarily a web-based service or curl-able API.
