I might get lit on fire for this, but I don't find manpages very easy to use. If want to quickly remember an option or argument order, I am met with a wall of text.

Does anyone have tips for how to make it more useful? Maybe I could grep better for options? For example in the link, the author lists out common curl commands like making a POST request or adding a header. If you tried to look through the manpage for this, this would take a long time.

There's another utility called tldr that does a better job of this by providing common usage examples that almost always instantly give me what I need, but its not nearly as comprehensive as man.
