diff --git a/gistfile1.txt b/gistfile1.txt
 Capitalized, short (50 chars or less) summary

 More detailed explanatory text, if necessary.  Wrap it to about 72
 characters or so.  In some contexts, the first line is treated as the
 subject of an email and the rest of the text as the body.  The blank
 line separating the summary from the body is critical (unless you omit
 the body entirely); tools like rebase can get confused if you run the
 two together.

 Write your commit message in the present tense: "Fix bug" and not "Fixed
 bug."  This convention matches up with commit messages generated by
 commands like git merge and git revert.

 Further paragraphs come after blank lines.

 - Bullet points are okay, too

 - Typically a hyphen or asterisk is used for the bullet, preceded by a
  single space, with blank lines in between, but conventions vary here

 - Use a hanging indent
