What a great setup. I really love the premise, but I feel that it needs slightly more instructions. As I'm struggling in finding out what exactly to do.

For example:

- It was a not so obvious to find out I had to click on the green flashing text.

- "Find the git pull command", I keep typing "git pull" but there is no help whatsoever (apart from the beep). Does "Find" mean that I need to find it in the documentation? Do I need to type it? Nothing is added to the commands list on the bottom left.

Sorry about that. I'll change the copy to make it clearer. The pull command will be in 1 of the newspaper's science & technology column. It will have the green flashing background behind it.

There is not flashing background in the S&T column. Also when I inspect the HTML, there is not text or anything apart from some gibberish :-)

Also, thanks for the reply. Appreciated :-)

Are you looking at the 'fall of the soviet union' newspaper?

Aaaah, the newspapers that were newer as the moonlanding one didn't appear on my screen. As I resized a few times. Found it now :)
