tldr fetch

The tldr fetch command downloads command examples from the official tldr pages repository and imports them into your IntelliShell library.

This is a great way to quickly populate your library with a vast collection of common and useful commands. The imported examples are stored in a separate tldr category so they don't mix with your personal bookmarks. Once fetched, they will appear in your search results, giving you instant access to a massive library of commands.

💡 Tip: You can re-run this command at any time to update your local copy of the tldr pages to the latest version.

Usage

intelli-shell tldr fetch [OPTIONS] [CATEGORY]

Arguments

• CATEGORY Specifies which tldr category (a collection of pages) to fetch.

  If omitted, IntelliShell automatically fetches the common pages as well as the pages for your current operating system (e.g., linux, osx, or windows).

  For a full list of available categories, you can visit the tldr pages repository.

Options

• -c, --command <COMMAND_NAME>

  Fetches examples for one or more specific commands, regardless of platform. This option can be repeated to specify multiple commands.

• -C, --filter-commands [FILE_OR_STDIN]

  Fetches examples only for commands listed in a file or from standard input. If no path is provided, it reads from stdin. Command names should be separated by newlines.

Examples

Fetch Default Pages for Your System

Running the command without arguments is the easiest way to get started. It fetches the most relevant pages for your environment.

Fetch a Specific Platform

If you only want pages from a specific platform, like common, you can specify it as an argument.

intelli-shell tldr fetch common

Fetch Pages for Specific Tools

If you only need examples for a particular command, use the --command flag.

intelli-shell tldr fetch --command git --command docker
