Using Git in the Real World (Ruby Course): Link in assignment part directs user to the wrong lesson #28799

Checks

Describe your suggestion

In Ruby's Using Git in the Real World, a link in the assignment instructions is directing the user to the Working with Remotes lesson in the JavaScript course instead of Ruby's equivalent course.

Issue can be found on the Assignment section, Ongoing workflow sub-section, step 5:

  1. You may have merge conflicts… resolve those using the skills you learned in the Working with Remotes lesson!

This is my fist issue submission to The Odin Project. Perhaps the issue may seem trivial, but I thought I'd give it a go either way.

Wanna contribute however I can to this great learning platform!

Thanks for opening the issue.

Many of our lessons are shared between both pathways, i.e. we have a single lesson file in markdown, and both pathway's versions of that lesson will pull from the same contents. Because of this, we can't easily and neatly write links for each pathway individually. If we provide only one link, it'll be "wrong" for the other pathway. Two links is messy and given it's only a link to reference a past lesson, it's not too big of an issue that we must have two links for every time such a link comes up (happens a lot). Example past issue from "the other side": #28630

Since there isn't any action that's strictly necessary here, I will close this issue.
