SELECT * FROM wp_options WHERE
I confess that there’s some stuff I do on the command line that I immediately forget, and then find myself weeks later Googling for the same things. For a time I adopted a convention of having a simple help
function in my ~/.zshrc
to help remember, but now I’ve adopted man pages. So if you want your own:
mkdir -p ~/man/man1
- Add to
~/.zshrc
the lineexport MANPATH="$MANPATH:/Users/username/man"
- Add an entry
pbpaste > man/man1/foo.1
Now so long as I write myself a note in my manual, then I can run man ntaylor
to remind myself! I like this because it’s memorable.
It also has me thinking that it might be cool to install man <companyName>
on new developer laptops with tips and tricks, or something.

In my case I used pandoc
(which you can try online) to convert from Markdown to man format.
