This would make it easier to see at a glance who is doing what. In other words, it would change from this: $ git clone /home/alice/project myrepo $ git pull /home/bob/myrepo master to this: bob$ git clone /home/alice/project myrepo alice$ git pull /home/bob/myrepo master In the tutorial's current form, I spent so much time looking back into the paragraph text to find out who was typing each command that I eventually printed it out so I could scribble their names on each one. I hope this change isn't a big deal. Thanks, -Ian
