Personal man page

This repo is for my personal man page. It uses pandoc to process markdown into a manpage. See https://gabmus.org/posts/man_pages_with_markdown_and_pandoc

  1. create a markdown file for the manpage. We save it in section 7: Miscellaneous Information Manual, so it needs to be named [name].7.md.

  2. create a file in man page format using pandoc:

    pandoc --standalone -t man cheatsheet.7.md -o cheatsheet.7
    
  3. Then symlink to the appropriate man file directory:

    ln -s /Users/hugh/coding/man/cheatsheet.7 /usr/local/share/man/man7/
    

Now you can run man cheatsheet and see your man page!
