Launch tldr-sharp with the user-agent and cookies like this:

TLDR_USER_AGENT="Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:70.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/70.0" TLDR_COOKIE="__cfduid=<some-cookie>; cf_clearance=<some-cookie>" tldr -u

Firefox / Chromium

  • Open Network
  • Reload the page and click on the first request
  • On the right, there is a column with request headers, there you can find the cookie and user-agent.
