Pragmatic Version Control Using Git

Typographic Conventions

A few typographical conventions are used throughout this book. They are as follows:

Git	Refers to the program as a whole when capitalized.
git	Refers to the command you run on the command line.
italic	Signifies new concepts.
files and directories	Are displayed in this font.
prompt>	Comes before something you should type. Longer commands may be broken up into several lines with a \ at the end of each line. They can be typed as one line. They’re broken up in the book only so they fit on the page.
