 Redis store for node cache manager
 ==================================
 
-Redis cache store for [node-cache-manager](https://github.com/BryanDonovan/node-cache-manager). 
+Redis cache store for [node-cache-manager](https://github.com/BryanDonovan/node-cache-manager).
 
 How is this package different from `node-cache-manager-redis`?
 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 This is a **completely different version** than the earlier [node-cache-manager-redis](https://github.com/dial-once/node-cache-manager-redis). This package does not use `redis-pool` which is unnecessary and not actively maintained.
- 
+
 This package aims to provide **the most simple wrapper possible** by just passing the configuration to the underlying `node_redis` package.
