 ## Unit Tests
 
 To run the unit tests on files that you've changed:
-* npm test
+* `npm test`
 
 To run a single test (in this case the login page test):
-* npm test -- __tests__/pages/Login.jsx
+* `npm test -- __tests__/pages/Login.jsx`
 
 **note:** Once the test watcher is up and running you can hit `a` to run all the tests
