A minor issue: the word "sticked" reads very strangely to me (in this spot and several others in your text). I think something like joined or attached (or even abutted) would be better, as seen in this altered text for the spot cited above (with a few other improvements thrown in):

 * when a command line option takes an argument, it is best to use the
   'joined' form.  In other words, write `"git foo -oArg"` instead of
   `"git foo -o Arg"` for short options, and `"git foo --long-opt=Arg"`
   instead of `"git foo --long-opt Arg"` for long options.  If an option
   takes an optional option-argument, it MUST be written using the
   'joined' form when providing the option-argument.
