      A TLDR alternative to man pages
      While a man page is for every possible flag available for a command,
      A tldr is for the most common tasks a command can do.

      tldr fc
      
      fc
      
        Open the most recent command for editing and then run it.
        More information: https://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/bash.html#index-fc.
      
        - Open the last command in the default system editor and run it after editing:
          fc
      
        - Specify an editor to open with:
          fc -e 'emacs'
      
        - List recent commands from history:
          fc -l
      
        - List recent commands in reverse order:
          fc -l -r
      
        - Edit and run a command from history:
          fc number
      
        - Edit commands in a given interval and run them:
          fc '416' '420'
      
        - Display help:
          fc --help
