`uv tool` should support man pages #4731

pipx supports installation of man pages for documentation. We should do the same in the uv tool commands.

Agreed. This is the biggest feature that's still keeping me on pipx right now.

Agreed. This is the biggest feature that's still keeping me on pipx right now.

Before this feature is fully implemented, you can use the following workaround: uv tool run --from package man package.

e.g., uv tool run --from pycowsay man pycowsay.
