Xcode Man Page

#xcode #manpage #swift #programming

What if Xcode had a man page? Well now it does.

Instead of searching all over the web for keyboard shortcuts, features, and other common questions you have about Xcode, wouldn't it be great if you could just open a Terminal window and search or browse the Xcode man page?

Impress your friends and coworkers when you go to this man page instead of wasting time searching all over the internet for answers to your Xcode questions. You'll want to keep it open in a tab at all times.

Installation:

1) Create the directory:

sudo mkdir /usr/local/man/man1

2) Download the Xcode manpage:
Download Here

3) Copy the manpage to your direcory:

sudo cp xcode.1.gz /usr/local/man/man1

4) Add new path to the /etc/man.conf file:

sudo vim /etc/man.conf
# Add the following line where you see the other MANPATH entries:
MANPATH /usr/local/man

Now you can use the xcode manpage like so:

man xcode

That's all there is to it.

Please let me know what you think. It is a work in progress and I welcome bug reports, suggestions, etc.

Thanks and enjoy!
