Using '{caret}' inside double quotes and immediately following with a single quoted word does not create the desired output: '<commit1>' appears verbatim instead of being emphasized.

Use a litteral caret ('^') instead.

Also, remove the leading tabs in shell examples to bring them more in line with the rest of the documentation.
