Command help, inspired by http://explainshell.com/ to extract help text from builtin commands and man pages. Here's an example:

    $ ch ls -AXG
           ls - list directory contents

           -A, --almost-all
                  do not list implied . and ..

           -X     sort alphabetically by entry extension

           -G, --no-group
                  in a long listing, don't print group names

https://github.com/learnbyexample/regexp-cut/blob/main/rcut is another - uses awk to provide cut like syntax for field extraction. After writing this, I found commands like `hck`, `tuc` written in Rust that solves most of the things I wanted.




Has anybody stumbled upon a similar tool that does this in reverse? For example, I want to find a curl option that has a "redirect" word in its description.


Oh lord this is beautiful!


Ohhhh that's lovely


I will steal that too..
