There are man pages though, but still I suppose that might be useful to you.

Anyways, the only options for tar that I commonly use are "c", "x", and "t"; I will use other programs for decompression, and for extracting into a directory, will use cd.

If the man pages had useful examples the “cheat sheets” would not be needed. So “duh use man pages” is a wrong and annoying answer in this context.

Yes, I suppose you are right, the man pages do not have sufficient examples. So, it is good that they add more there. (The man page still explains what all of the options are; now we have this "cheat sheets" with the examples, too.)
