From 32fceba3fddff4eea4f306f947c4d21911c5daed Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nathan Payre Date: Wed, 18 Oct 2017 22:27:16 +0200 Subject: config doc: clarify "git config --path" example Change the word "bla" to "section.variable"; "bla" is a placeholder for a variable name but it wasn't clear for everyone. While we're here, also reformat this sample command line to use monospace instead of italics, to better match the rest of the file. Use a space instead of a dash in "git config", as is common in the rest of Git's documentation. Reported-by: Robert P. J.
