Not a bad list of basic macOS specific cli tools. For a more in depth list, I usually reference https://ss64.com/osx/.

A tad outdated. At a glance I see it’s missing `networkQuality` (introduced in Monterey) and `realpath` (added in Ventura).

Agreed. Some of the flags are missing as well. Not sure it's updated often, but still not a bad starting point. If only Apple would publish something directly. They do a pretty good job with the Apple Platform Deployment guide (https://support.apple.com/guide/deployment). And the Security guide (https://support.apple.com/guide/security).
