What needs to be fixed?

The following part confused me.

cargo new generates a "Hello, world!" project for us! We can run this program by moving into the new directory that we made and running this in our terminal:

I had already run cargo new hello-rust but then I thought I had to run cargo new again. The above section is an explanation and not a step.

See https://stackoverflow.com/q/64121582/11809808 for context.

Suggested Improvement

Make it more clear the that cargo new section is an explanation and not a step in the getting started process.

Maybe simply changing

cargo new generates a "Hello World!" project for us

to

cargo new generated a "Hello World!" project for us

to make it clear it is referring to the previous step.
