  For easier reading of manpages i usually use https://man7.org https://man7.org or the distro specific manpage website like https://man.archlinux.org/ https://man.archlinux.org/ or https://manpages.debian.org/ https://manpages.debian.org/

    Assuming using same account, use history command to show past commands[0a, 0b] 'load random example' on shellcheck using own custom examples from history command.[1] ncurse, dialog, zenity[2].

  Back when Classic Mac OS was just Mac OS, MPW and A/UX had Commando which was exactly that. example: https://norden.social/@chucker/110481404731662825 https://norden.social/@chucker/110481404731662825 That could be done with Linux (wayland/x) but on MPW the shell/terminal/commando were all integrated which isn't the case for Linux or OS X today.

  Maybe you should make one? Slack to me is IRC. I imagine there is mileage in giving the world Bash in a more usable fashion.

  Just ask ChatGPT, it's pretty good at figuring out the commands and params and explaining them.

  I’ve never even seen a prototype of what a GUI for Bash would look like. However, there is Warp, which might be of interest. “Ask Warp AI to suggest the right command or chat to get answers about any programming question. Your requests stay private and secure, never used to train public models.” I haven’t tried it myself, but I have aquaintances that swear by it. https://www.warp.dev/ https://www.warp.dev/
