If you are unsure what you really need then ask Google or some other 
search engine.

For local docs, first of all, use "apt search" with proper keyword to 
see if you need to install relevant *-doc packages then check 
/usr/share/doc content for that package names. Project web site and 
various blogs may be a better source if you need overview.

"man" often may offer a reference, not a guide. It is suitable to get 
details concerning specific command options.

Skim through "man man", it describes what search options are available.
