Apparently you can’t nest brackets like this according to git-am(1).  I
got this:

    ] t7011-skip-worktree-reading.sh: ensure no whitespace after redirect operators

Doesn’t really matter though.  I suspect `[PATCH Outreachy]` would work.

This is documented in Documentation/CodingGuidelines at “Redirection
operators”.  That’s a more straightforward reference.

We can see that from the patch.  Saying what it does is redundant in
this case in my opinion. :)

I think it suffices to say that you are fixing the code style.  If so
this would have been enough:

You seem to be wrapping the lines at 80 columns.  72 columns is more
common here.  The idea is (I think) that you add some slack for things
like commit message indentation in git-log(1), multiple levels of email
quoting and so on.

It’s kind of indirectly mentioned in Documentation/MyFirstContribution.
I also found this:

The diff here is clean.  It only does what you describe in the commit
message.  Good.

I checked the file and I can’t find any missed instances.  Nice!
