Previously, it would log:
==> Backing App 'GitX.app' up to '/opt/homebrew/Caskroom/gitx/1.4/GitX.app'

Now it logs:
==> Backing Up App 'GitX.app' to '/opt/homebrew/Caskroom/gitx/1.4/GitX.app'

The previous awkward wording has been a pet peeve of mine for several years, so I finally created a PR to improve it. :)

I considered using the lower-case "Backing up App ...", but I think the upper-case "Backing Up" looks better in the surrounding context, where many other words are already capitalized.

Existing tests are modified with this PR to match the new wording.

  • For bug fixes, have you given step-by-step brew commands to reproduce the bug?
  • Have you written new tests (excluding integration tests)? Here's an example.
  • Have you successfully run brew lgtm (style, typechecking and tests) locally?
