 That way, you can also use this helper when [git] is invoked via GUI programs such as your IDE.
 For a configuration example, refer to the [ArchWiki](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GnuPG#pinentry).
 In case you really want to use the terminal for pinentry (via `pinentry-curses`), be sure to [appropriately configure the environment variable `GPG_TTY`](https://www.gnupg.org/documentation/manuals/gnupg/Invoking-GPG_002dAGENT.html), most likely by adding the following lines to your shell initialization:
+
 ```sh
 GPG_TTY=$(tty)
 export GPG_TTY
 ```
+
 If you use this setup for remote work via SSH, also consider the alternative of [GPG agent forwarding](https://wiki.gnupg.org/AgentForwarding).

 This might potentially install Python packages without the knowledge of your system's package manager.
 If all package preconditions are already met, you can also copy the script file to to your system to avoid this problem:

 ```ini

 ```
+
 The host can be used as a variable to address a pass entry.
 This is especially helpful for wildcard matches:
+
 ```ini
 [*]
 target=git-logins/${host}
 ```
+
 The above configuration directive will lead to any host that did not match any previous section in the ini file to being looked up under the `git-logins` directory in your passwordstore.
 
 Using the `includeIf` directive available in git >= 2.13, it is also possible to perform matching based on the current working directory by invoking `pass-git-helper` with a conditional `MAPPING-FILE`.
 To achieve this, edit your `.gitconfig`, e.g. like this:
+
 ```ini
 [includeIf "gitdir:~/src/user1/"]
     path=~/.config/git/gitconfig_user1
 [includeIf "gitdir:~/src/user2/"]
     path=~/.config/git/gitconfig_user2
 ```
+
 With the following contents of `gitconfig_user1` (and `gitconfig_user2` repspectively), `mapping_user1.ini`, which could contain a `target` entry to e.g. `github.com/user1` would always be invoked in `~/src/user1`:
+
 ```ini
 [user]
     name = user1
 [credential]
     helper=/full/path/to/pass-git-helper -m /full/path/to/mapping_user1.ini
 ```
