 1. Fork the `scrapy-redis` repo on GitHub.
 2. Clone your fork locally::
 
-    $ git clone git@github.com:your_name_here/scrapy-redis.git
+       git clone git@github.com:your_name_here/scrapy-redis.git
 
 3. Install your local copy into a virtualenv. Assuming you have virtualenvwrapper installed, this is how you set up your fork for local development::
 
-    $ mkvirtualenv scrapy-redis
-    $ cd scrapy-redis/
-    $ python setup.py develop
+       mkvirtualenv scrapy-redis
+       cd scrapy-redis/
+       python setup.py develop
 
 4. Create a branch for local development::
 
-    $ git checkout -b name-of-your-bugfix-or-feature
+       git checkout -b name-of-your-bugfix-or-feature
 
    Now you can make your changes locally.
 
 5. When you're done making changes, check that your changes pass flake8 and the tests, including testing other Python versions with tox::
 
-    $ flake8 scrapy_redis tests
-    $ pytest --ignore=setup.py
-    $ tox
+       flake8 scrapy_redis tests
+       pytest --ignore=setup.py
+       tox
 
    To get flake8 and tox, just pip install them into your virtualenv.
 
 6. Commit your changes and push your branch to GitHub::
 
-    $ git add .
-    $ git commit -m "Your detailed description of your changes."
-    $ git push origin name-of-your-bugfix-or-feature
+       git add .
+       git commit -m "Your detailed description of your changes."
+       git push origin name-of-your-bugfix-or-feature
 
 7. Submit a pull request through the GitHub website.
