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".
