From: Philippe Blain <levraiphilippeblain@xxxxxxxxx> Using '{caret}' inside double quotes and immediately following with a single quoted word does not create the desired output: '<commit1>' appears verbatim instead of being emphasized. Use a litteral caret ('^') instead. Also, remove the leading tabs in shell examples to bring them more in line with the rest of the documentation.
