Jargon on the Git basics page is not linked to the glossary

[pushpam2404]

Context

git-basics.html uses "fork", "upstream", "branch", "commit" and "remote" freely. The glossary defines all of them. The two pages do not know about each other, so a reader who hits an unfamiliar word has to go looking.

What to change

Files: git-basics.html, and js/glossary.js if you take the automatic route

Requirements:

• Link the first use of each glossary term on the page to its glossary entry
• First use only — linking every occurrence turns the page into a sea of blue
• Depends on issue about per-entry ids, so agree an id format or coordinate with whoever has that one
• Prefer doing this in the HTML over scanning and rewriting text in JavaScript; the automatic approach mangles text inside code blocks

Acceptance criteria

• Each glossary term is linked once, on first use
• No links inside <code> or <pre> blocks
• Links go to the right entry and it is visible on arrival
• The page reads normally — not visibly over-linked

How to verify locally

python3 -m http.server 8000

Then open http://localhost:8000.

Difficulty

Intermediate. The judgement about which occurrences to link is the hard part, not the code.
