Remove $ symbol from readme to allow strigthforward copy-paste function #111

Closed rola93 closed 3 years ago

rola93 commented 3 years ago

Git now offers a copy button on code snippets (check it on the right-up corner), as you can see in the following image:

The icon is very useful and let you copy the code snippet. The problem is that current version of Readme includes the $ char which makes it hard: you copy with just one click, but when you paste it, need to delete it before running the command.

It's far easier to just remove the char and then the button copies the ready-to-run code

It'sa good point, but from a user perspective, I think it is clear enough with the context.

I see it far more useful to let the user copy-paste functionality as is, and take advantage of it.

In fact, pyenv itself do not use the $ char in their docs.

Okay, that makes sense.
