Subject: [PATCH 2/4] docs: Clean up `--empty` formatting in `git-rebase` and `git-am`
Date: Thu, 18 Jan 2024 23:59:18 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240119060721.3734775-3-brianmlyles@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20240119060721.3734775-2-brianmlyles@gmail.com>
From: Brian Lyles <brianmlyles@gmail.com>
Both of these pages document very similar `--empty` options, but with
different styles. This commit aims to make them more consistent.
In a future commit, we'll be documenting a new `--empty` option for
`git-cherry-pick`, making the consistency even more relevant.
