 For customers that currently use Docker to create a backup-utils image, their existing process may need updating as a result of this change. Previously customers could execute this command to build a Docker image of backup-utils:
 
 ```shell
-$ docker build github.com/github/backup-utils
+\$ docker build github.com/github/backup-utils
 ```
 
 This will not work after phase 2 roles out. You will need to update your process to first download an archive from the [release page](https://github.com/github/backup-utils/releases), extract it, and then build the Dockerfile inside the extracted directory.
