[PATCH v3] Documentation/git-config.txt: reword missleading sentence

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Change the word "bla" to "section.variable", "bla" is a placeholder
for a variable name and it wasn't clear for everyone.  This change
clarify it.

Change the appearance of 'git config section.variable {tilde}/' to
`git config section.variable ~/` to harmonize it with the rest of the
file, this is a command line then the "`" are necessary.

Replace "git-config" by "git config" because the command is not
"git-config".

Change since v2: use ~ within backquote instead of {tilde}.
Backquoting of 'git config', '~', '$HOME' and '~user' for more
coherence.
