Standardize parameter syntax

[CamdenSegal]

We are using a variety of syntax to indicate placeholder parameters and such. Can we decide on a syntax we will use globally?

Something like wrapping parameters in carrots seems like it could work nicely and not conflict with the commands?

e.g.

cd <file>

git checkout <branch-name>

ssh <username>@<url or ip>

This could potentially conflict with using the command line > and >> operators.

Any thoughts?

Agreed. Updating
