The plus signs are from git and represent a line addition (and displayed green) while a line deletion is a minus sign and displayed red. The ``` are from markdown and used to highlight a code block.

with it, it also shows all the dependencies tree
try to do it without this... it shows only first braches on the tree (installed package names)
