eg is a CLI tool that shows common usage examples for command-line tools. Pass a command name, as in eg tar, and instead of the long explanations of a man page it prints examples you can copy and use right away in the terminal; users can also add their own example files. It is one of the command-line cheat sheet tools, like tldr and cheat.
