 # Fix common issues
 
-`sed` might be one of the better tools to fix common issues.
+`sed` might be one of the better tools to fix common issues, as shown in commands below.
+
+**Note**: these commands assume your current working directory is the salt (states) directory/repository.
 
 Fix spacing arround `{{ var_name }}`, eg. `{{env}}` --> `{{ env }}`:\
-`sed -i -E "s/\{\{\s?([^}]*[^} ])\s?\}\}/\{\{ \1 \}\}/g"  $(find salt -name '*.sls')`
+`sed -i -E "s/\{\{\s?([^}]*[^} ])\s?\}\}/\{\{ \1 \}\}/g"  $(find . -name '*.sls')`
 
 Make the `dir_mode`, `file_mode` and `mode` arguments in the desired syntax:\
-`sed -i -E "s/\b(dir_|file_|)mode: 0?([0-7]{3})/\1mode: '0\2'/"  $(find salt -name '*.sls')`
+`sed -i -E "s/\b(dir_|file_|)mode: 0?([0-7]{3})/\1mode: '0\2'/"  $(find . -name '*.sls')`
 
 Add quotes arround numeric values that start with a `0`:\
-`sed -i -E "s/\b(minute|hour): (0[0-7]?)\$/\1: '\2'/"  $(find salt -name '*.sls')`
+`sed -i -E "s/\b(minute|hour): (0[0-7]?)\$/\1: '\2'/"  $(find . -name '*.sls')`
