Restore the command and preformatted blocks.

The conversion has joined separate commands and examples into single paragraphs. git clone ... cd marches passes extra arguments to git clone. The toolbox and just instructions have the same defect. The repository tree and branch examples are also unreadable as structured content. Put each example in a fenced block and separate commands with newlines or &&.

Also applies to: 11-12, 16-17, 22-33, 88-91

In @.github/CONTRIBUTING.md at line 3, Restore the command and example
formatting in CONTRIBUTING.md: separate git clone and cd marches, fix the
toolbox and just command instructions similarly, and place repository-tree and

commands and structure while separating sequential commands with newlines or &&.

Remove indentation from Markdown content.

GitHub Markdown treats four leading spaces as an indented code block. ### Repository Structure and the later headings, lists, and paragraphs therefore render as code instead of document content. Remove the four-space prefix from Markdown prose and headings.

In @.github/CONTRIBUTING.md at line 20, Remove the leading four-space
indentation from the Markdown prose, headings, lists, and paragraphs in the
repository structure documentation, including the “Repository Structure”
heading, so GitHub renders them as normal document content rather than code
blocks.

Update the relocated contribution-guide paths.

The repository tree still lists CONTRIBUTING.md at the repository root, but the new file is .github/CONTRIBUTING.md. SECURITY.adoc also still links to the deleted root CONTRIBUTING.md. Update both references.

Preserve the Conventional Commits template.

The angle-bracket placeholders are interpreted as HTML tags, so the example renders as (): instead of valid commit syntax. Put the complete template in a fenced code block, including the literal type, scope, description, body, and footer placeholders.
