Hi!

I am new to shell scripts but trying to learn it by heart. Recently I came
through a confusing part, there are two ways to assign values to a variable:
1. : ${HOME:-$HOME}
2. HOME=$HOME

I am not able to understand the diff b/w the above two notation and which
one is better to use.

Thanks and Regards!
