Conventions used

There are a number of text conventions used throughout this book.

Code in text: Indicates code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles. Here is an example: "To change the order of the profiles in the UI, we can change the order of the entries in the list under profiles in the settings file."

A block of code is set as follows:

"profiles": {
    "defaults": {
        "fontFace": "Cascadia Mono PL"
    },

When we wish to draw your attention to a particular part of a code block, the relevant lines or items are set in bold:

"profiles": {
    "defaults": {
        "fontFace": "Cascadia Mono PL"
    },

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

git clone https://github.com/magicmonty/bash-git-prompt.git ~/.bash-git-prompt --depth=1

Bold: Indicates a new term, an important word, or words that you see onscreen. For example, words in menus or dialog boxes appear in the text like this. Here is an example: "The playground can be a helpful environment when you are working on a complex query, and the Command Line section at the bottom even gives you the command line that you can copy and use in your scripts."
