Part of #69286

Summary

The lecture challenge "What Is a .gitignore File, and What Are Some Items That Should Be Included Inside It?" is ~1026 words with no section headers, making it hard to scan.

  • File: curriculum/challenges/english/blocks/lecture-working-with-code-reviews-branching-deployment-and-ci-cd/6882913b2b58c2738eaaa2d1.md
  • Word count: ~1026

Acceptance Criteria

  • Add ## section headers to break the lecture body (the # --description-- section) into logical sections
  • Headers should reflect the natural structure of the content; no rewriting of existing prose
  • See curriculum/challenges/english/blocks/lecture-working-with-higher-order-functions-and-callbacks/673362d7f94d551edb532d24.md ("How Does the Sort Method Work?") for the existing convention: short, Title Case ## headers placed before each major sub-topic
  • Do not modify the # --questions-- section, code blocks, or front matter
  • Ensure the lecture still reads clearly end-to-end after headers are added
