Look for thing in help, not google it, stay in terminal

help

# must know

$help
GNU bash, version 5.1.16(1)-release (x86_64-pc-msys)
These shell commands are defined internally.  Type `help' to see this list.
Type `help name' to find out more about the function `name'.
Use `info bash' to find out more about the shell in general.
Use `man -k' or `info' to find out more about commands not in this list.
# [...] all functions are listed her

# example cd

$help cd
cd: cd [-L|[-P [-e]] [-@]] [dir]
    Change the shell working directory.
# [...]
# Can use -L or -P,but not both, see |, can use -e @ with -L or -P

# What is the letters, look in terminal
Options:
      -L        force symbolic links to be followed: resolve symbolic
                links in DIR after processing instances of `..'
      -P        use the physical directory structure without following
                symbolic links: resolve symbolic links in DIR before
                processing instances of `..'
      -e        if the -P option is supplied, and the current working
                directory cannot be determined successfully, exit with
                a non-zero status
      -@        on systems that support it, present a file with extended
                attributes as a directory containing the file attributes

    The default is to follow symbolic links, as if `-L' were specified.

# if in the middle of long terminal, quick type to keep it

$cd --help

man (even more info, the entire manual), but this is a txt file, not terminal.

help should be enough

$man help
