From: Sean Allred <allred.sean@xxxxxxxxx> While it's good to have several examples to solidify the output pattern and generally demonstrate how to use the command, most other EXAMPLES sections (e.g., git-show-branch.txt, git-remote.txt) additionally describe the problem/situation to which the example is applicable. Follow this example in the ls-remote documentation.
