Conventions

In this book, you will find a number of text styles that distinguish between different kinds of information. Here are some examples of these styles and an explanation of their meaning.

Code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input are shown as follows: "Again, we will use the JGit repository with the master branch pointing to b14a939."

Any command-line input or output is written as follows:

$ git log -G"isOutdated" --oneline 

New terms and important words are shown in bold. Words that you see on the screen, in menus or dialog boxes for example, appear in the text like this: "We can just write the commit message in the field in the bottom of the screen and hit Commit."
