 Specify how `turbo` should handle current and pending tasks in the presence of an error (e.g. non-zero exit code from a task).
 
-- When `--continue` is `never` and an error occurs, `turbo` will cancel all tasks.
-- When `--continue` is `dependencies-successful` and an error occurs, `turbo` will cancel dependent tasks. Tasks whose dependencies have succeeded will continue to run.
-- When `--continue` is `always` and an error occurs, `turbo` will continue running all tasks, even those whose dependencies have failed.
+- When `--continue=never` and an error occurs, `turbo` will cancel all tasks.
+- When `--continue=dependencies-successful` and an error occurs, `turbo` will cancel dependent tasks. Tasks whose dependencies have succeeded will continue to run.
+- When `--continue=always` and an error occurs, `turbo` will continue running all tasks, even those whose dependencies have failed.
 - When `--continue` is specified without a value, it will default to `always`.
 
 In all cases, `turbo` will exit with the highest exit code value encountered during execution.
