Addressing some feedback about the first-steps covering the help and version commands. I'm not sure what else to do here since the first steps with uv are very dependent on the features you need.

First steps with uv
uv only provides a command-line interface and must be used from a terminal.
After installing uv, you can check that uv is installed by running the uv
command:
$ uv
You should see a help menu listing the available commands.
Read on for a brief overview of the help menu and version command, or jump to an overview of features to start using uv.
Help menus
The --help flag can be used to view the help menu for a command, e.g., for uv:
$ uv --help
To view the help menu for a specific command, e.g., for uv init:
$ uv init --help
When using the --help flag, uv displays a condensed help menu. To view a longer help menu for a
command, use uv help:
$ uv help
To view the long help menu for a specific command, e.g., for uv init:
$ uv help init
When using the long help menu, uv will attempt to use less or more to "page" the output so it is
not all displayed at once. To exit the pager, press q.
Viewing the version
To check the installed version:
$ uv version
The following are also valid:
$ uv --version # Same output as `uv version`
$ uv -V # Will not include the build commit and date
$ uv pip --version # Can be used with a subcommand
Next steps
Now that you've confirmed uv is installed and know how to get help, check out an overview of features or jump straight into the guides to start using uv.
