Describe the bug:

In the section '3.3 Git Branching - Branch Management' there is the following tip:

$ git checkout testing $ git branch --no-merged master topicA featureB

Reading the tip text and the output of the command, I got the impression that topicA and featureB are issues or functions, and not branches, since topicA and featureB are never mentioned earlier in the book.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Go to '...'
  2. Click on '...'
  3. 'Scroll down to '...'
  4. See error

Expected behavior:

Clear tip text
