 replace that with the staging branch for the targeted release line.
 
 1. Checkout the staging branch for the targeted release line.
+
 2. Make sure that the local staging branch is up to date with the remote.
+
 3. Create a new branch off of the staging branch, as shown below.
 
-    ```bash
-    # Assuming your fork of Node.js is checked out in $NODE_DIR,

-    git checkout -b backport-10157-to-v10.x v10.x-staging
-    # Ensure there are no test artifacts from previous builds
-    # Note that this command deletes all files and directories

 4. After creating the branch, apply the changes to the branch. The cherry-pick
    will likely fail due to conflicts. In that case, you will see something
    like this:
 
-    ```console
-    # Say the $SHA is 773cdc31ef
-    $ git cherry-pick $SHA # Use your commit hash
-    error: could not apply 773cdc3... <commit title>
-    hint: after resolving the conflicts, mark the corrected paths
-    hint: with 'git add <paths>' or 'git rm <paths>'
-    hint: and commit the result with 'git commit'
-    ```

+   hint: after resolving the conflicts, mark the corrected paths
+   hint: with 'git add <paths>' or 'git rm <paths>'
+   hint: and commit the result with 'git commit'
+   ```
 
 5. Make the required changes to remove the conflicts, add the files to the index
    using `git add`, and then commit the changes. That can be done with
    `git cherry-pick --continue`.
+
 6. Leave the commit message as is. If you think it should be modified, comment
    in the pull request. The `Backport-PR-URL` metadata does need to be added to
    the commit, but this will be done later.
+
 7. Make sure `make -j4 test` passes.
+
 8. Push the changes to your fork.
