+2. The Docker Compose file mounts a host volume for each service's executing code. The host directory is expected to be
    a sibling of this directory. For example, if this repo is cloned to `~/workspace/devstack`, host volumes will be
    expected in `~/workspace/course-discovery`, `~/workspace/ecommerce`, etc. These repos can be cloned with the command
    below.
 
-   ```

    development without the auth service) and tenants (for multi-tenancy).
 
    The username and password for the superusers are both "edx". You can access the services directly via Django admin
    at the `/admin/` path, or login via single sign-on at `/login/`.

     ```

 After the services have started, if you need shell access to one of the services, run `make devstack.open.<service>`.
 For example to access the Catalog/Course Discovery Service, you can run:
 
 ```
-$ make devstack.open.discovery
+(devstack)$ make devstack.open.discovery
 ```
