Hi David,

Welcome! Thanks for your suggestion. It helps to have a fresh pair of
eyes. One of the hardest things to do is explain the "obvious" but in
this case, as you point out, it is not obvious how to type the
assignment arrow. I'm going to make some changes to Terse Guide so
please watch for them and let us know if more is needed.

I hope someone else will chime in regarding Git and GitHub :)
