Code Review

This pull request adds a glossary entry for 'pub', which is a great addition to the documentation. The definition is clear and the links are relevant. I've provided one suggestion to refine the long_description to be slightly more explicit for Flutter developers, which should improve clarity.

This description is good, but it could be more explicit for Flutter developers. Consider mentioning the flutter pub command directly, as this is what developers will use in a Flutter context. Also, clarifying that pub.dev is the repository for both Dart and Flutter packages would be a helpful addition.

    Pub is the package manager for the Dart programming language.
    In Flutter, you use `flutter pub` commands to install, upgrade, and manage dependencies for your app.
    Dependencies are defined in the [`pubspec.yaml`][] file.
    Packages are hosted on [pub.dev][], the official package repository for Dart and Flutter packages.

Hyper nitpick: one might misread this as "You can only use pub for a Flutter app, but not a pure Dart app". But we also don't want to point out that a pure Dart project is different than a Flutter app. What do you think of saying "Dart app" here?

I'm splitting hairs though, so feel free to keep this as-is :)
