Let's document: adb

[Managor]

Command description

Prune and add to this list as needed. I've only taken a compilation from the internet and the official documentation and made it into a list here
Some shell commands like ps, ls, pwd most likely overlap with the PC versions of those commands so I didn't include them. Edit the post if you feel the need to include them.

The safest way of testing these would probably be by installing waydroid

Now here would be a funny hardcoded exception to the client: Make tldr adb shell command alias to tldr -p android command. This would reduce replicated pages.

Not sure what you mean here, since ADB commands are indeed correctly present in common directly and regardless of the platform the same page will be present (thus not requiring replication).

If you are suggesting aliasing tldr adb shell command to tldr -p android command that wouldn't be ideal since the platform documents a lot of termux-specific commands too which aren't accessible to ADB afaik.

[Managor]

Understood. Since the android folder contained am and pm I thought it would reduce the copies of same data. Instead for keeping pages on those in both pages/android and in pages/common in the form of command.md and adb-shell-command.md respectively.

[Managor]

adb push and pull are so simple that the base page is enough

[Managor]

adb is a painful how it has tons of subcommands that do a singular thing. There is basically no variating ways of using said commands. Thus relating pages should be aliased and grouped together.

I'm thinking get-serialno and get-state could be grouped. Also start-server and kill-server
