Hey there! 🤗 I'm Brendan, co-founder & CEO of Fig. Fig adds IDE-style autocomplete to your existing terminal. ☀️ Today, I'm excited to share Fig's take on traditional unix man pages: Manual Pages, by Fig (fig.io/manual). Manual Pages provide beautiful, online documentation 300+ CLI tools. Here are some of the features we're excited about 🦋 Modern and beautiful The terminal has barely changed since the 70s... Traditional man pages are black and white, monospaced, hard to scroll, and hard to quit... It's 2022 - we thought we could do much better!! Fig's approach is modern, colorful, fast, discoverable, and web-based. 🔗 Declarative Routing We wanted to make it as easy as possible to share links to CLI tools and their specific subcommands. Therefore, all URLs follow a simple, declarative routing schema: fig.io/manual/command/[subcommand...] e.g. - fig.io/manual/git - fig.io/manual/git/stash - fig.io/manual/git/stash/pop 🐦 Open Graph Previews When you share a fig.io/manual link on Twitter, LinkedIn etc, the social graph preview automatically shows the description + arguments taken by each subcommand. Check out the screenshot we shared. It's a small touch but makes CLI tools much friendlier ✨ 🌎 Community driven and open source All of Fig's autocomplete specs (the templates we use to generate autocomplete) are fully open source: github.com/withfig/autocomplete If you find a problem with a subcommand, option, argument, or description feel free to contribute! It's super easy and we already have 200+ contributors 🔥 We'd love to hear what you think! - Join our Discord community - Join the conversation on Twitter - Comment below!

My terminal now feels even powerful. the best part - Auto complete feature in terminal. Good job team🚀

Congrats on the launch!!!

Really creative use of the open source completions. Traditional manual pages are literally from a different era - this is beautiful, easy to skim, and FAST! Great job on building this 🎉

Want to replace the built-in man pages with Fig? Just run this bash/zsh function in your terminal: ``` man (){ open "https://fig.io/manual/$(echo "$*" | tr ' ' '/')" } ``` Then you can run commands like `man git commit` and https://fig.io/manual/git/commit will open in your browser :)

Congrats on the launch!!!

So awesome to finally see an awesome experience to replace man pages, long overdue :)

This is such a smart way to use the data Fig has collected for their terminal autocomplete! 🤯 Love it!!

Man pages for the 21st century ❤️
