MD014 - Dollar signs used before commands without showing output
Tags: code
Aliases: commands-show-output
This rule is triggered when there are code blocks showing shell commands to be typed, and the shell commands are preceded by dollar signs ($):
$ ls
$ cat foo
$ less bar
The dollar signs are unnecessary in the above situation, and should not be included:
ls
cat foo
less bar
However, an exception is made when there is a need to distinguish between typed commands and command output, as in the following example:
$ ls
foo bar
$ cat foo
Hello world
$ cat bar
baz
Rationale: it is easier to copy and paste and less noisy if the dollar signs are omitted when they are not needed. See http://www.cirosantilli.com/markdown-styleguide/#dollar-signs-in-shell-code for more information.
