Made the tweaks. On regards for the @ symbol, that's the standard syntax for Makefile and just how it works to disable printing the recipe to your stdout. As the note section suggests, you can try to build a rule where there is no @ symbol in the recipe to see what it means.
If you find the @ symbol weird in front of the bash commands. you can run the commands with -s flag
Are you saying that adding the @ causes make to suppress command output to stdout? Or is it that make doesn’t print the step name to stdout? Or something else?
It might be more obvious with some example make output.
I have no idea what that means. It feels weird adding symbols to bash commands like that, where is the symbol interpreted?
But then the name of the variable is not ‘greeting’:
$ export INFO="Run make help to show
These sorts of small inconsistencies really break the flow of the entire piece.

Hope it helps. Cheers!
It’s not clear to me what this means:

Doing is knowing, so just try it out first!
Honestly I didn’t make it to the end of the article, I stopped after the second round of confusion.
