Would it be proper/reasonable/practical/??? to add an entry of the form
https://cht.sh/XXX ?

I think it can make sense for manpages to include a link to some further
doc in the form of a wiki or some other webpage, but I often enough find
myself using `man` while trying to fix a system's network or X11/Wayland
config, which makes it either impossible to access the Internet at that
moment, or painful to browse a webpage.

  curl https://cht.sh/:cht.sh > ~/bin/cht.sh
  chmod +x ~/bin/cht.sh
  cht.sh --standalone-install


I don't understand what those 3 lines are attempting to do.
What should I be reading?
TIA
