I guess the reason I asked is because if I were uninitiated I would not know any better and may include the [ ] in my message. I definitely wouldn't know to use quotes around the message.

As an introduction to git commands it would be helpful to know the actual syntax of each command.

Any example suggestion would help.

Perhaps format it as you did your username for the configuration section? I'm not sure how to change the color in markdown but I'd make the section between quotes that nice orange color you used.
example: git commit -m "Your message goes between the quotes"
