 This section provides some notes on how to hack on Nix. To get the
 latest version of Nix from GitHub:
 
-    $ git clone https://github.com/NixOS/nix.git
-    $ cd nix
+```console
+$ git clone https://github.com/NixOS/nix.git
+$ cd nix
+```
 
 To build Nix for the current operating system/architecture use
 
-    $ nix-build
+```console
+$ nix-build
+```
 
 or if you have a flakes-enabled nix:
 
-    $ nix build
+```console
+$ nix build
+```
 
 This will build `defaultPackage` attribute defined in the `flake.nix`
 file. To build for other platforms add one of the following suffixes to
 it: aarch64-linux, i686-linux, x86\_64-darwin, x86\_64-linux. i.e.
 
-    $ nix-build -A defaultPackage.x86_64-linux
+```console
+$ nix-build -A defaultPackage.x86_64-linux
+```
 
 To build all dependencies and start a shell in which all environment
 variables are set up so that those dependencies can be found:
 
-    $ nix-shell
+```console
+$ nix-shell
+```
 
 To build Nix itself in this shell:
 
-    [nix-shell]$ ./bootstrap.sh
-    [nix-shell]$ ./configure $configureFlags
-    [nix-shell]$ make -j $NIX_BUILD_CORES
+```console
+[nix-shell]$ ./bootstrap.sh
+[nix-shell]$ ./configure $configureFlags
+[nix-shell]$ make -j $NIX_BUILD_CORES
+```
 
 To install it in `$(pwd)/inst` and test it:
 
-    [nix-shell]$ make install
-    [nix-shell]$ make installcheck
-    [nix-shell]$ ./inst/bin/nix --version
-    nix (Nix) 2.4
+```console
+[nix-shell]$ make install
+[nix-shell]$ make installcheck
+[nix-shell]$ ./inst/bin/nix --version
+nix (Nix) 2.4
+```
