Find man pages with `apropos`. + - Know that some commands have `info` pages. These info pages are sometimes more in depth than the `man` pages. They can be viewed with `info command`. - Know that some commands are not executables, but Bash builtins, and that you can get help on them with `help` and `help -d`. You can find out whether a command is an executable, shell builtin or an alias by using `type command`. - `curl cheat.sh/command` will give a brief "cheat sheet" with common examples of how to use a shell command.
