I am begging developers of command line tools to simply write an example of the working command after the options.

reading a 1000 lines of documentation with a million -flags and -switches and then guessing how im supposed to use them is not fun. many many non coders want to use your program. Let us copy paste the working command and then edit to our needs

the yt-dlp github im trying to use has 2338 lines in the readme with hundreds of flags\options to use it with. This seems like it would be really helpful because wow so many options. but in reality it just causes paralysis because wow so many options. I literally just wanna change what folder it downloads to by default and I have to either read through these 2338 lines or hop between reddit posts with half answers that are all locked because their older than 6 months.
