The `tldr-generate` command is used to generate Markdown files from the tldr pages, which are community-maintained, simplified and community-driven man pages. It downloads the latest tldr pages (usually from the GitHub repository), and formats them appropriately for local usage. This command allows you to access these simplified documentation pages directly from your terminal. It is particularly useful for beginners and those who need a quick reference guide for common commands. The generated files can then be used by tldr clients (like `tldr` command) to display the concise documentation in the terminal. The `tldr-generate` command streamlines the process of keeping local tldr pages updated.

The `tldr-generate` command requires an internet connection to download the latest tldr pages from the default repository. If you are using a custom source, ensure that it is accessible. The generated files are simple markdown files which need a tldr client to use them.

To generate the tldr pages and store them in a specific directory:
tldr-generate --target /path/to/tldr/cache
To update the tldr pages from a git repository:
tldr-generate --source https://github.com/tldr-pages/tldr.git
