You just need to add this code to the bottom of the index.html page:

<script>
    jQuery(document).ready(function ($) {
        let selectedTab = window.location.hash;
        $('.nav-link[href="' + selectedTab + '"]' ).trigger('click');
    })
</script>

Solution 2:^[2]

I used all your codes and i add one small script to bottom of the index.html page. But I did not know what this asset/css/styles.css file, for this reason i ignore that.

This code work correctly without error.

nav.html page:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <title></title>
</head>
<body>

<a href="index.html#tab-1">tab 1</a>
<a href="index.html#tab-2">tab 2</a>
<a href="index.html#tab-3">tab 3</a>

Solution 3:^[3]

When working with Bootstrap 4 you can use this code below:

var urlTab = window.location.hash;

$('.nav-link[href="' + urlTab + '"]' ).trigger('click');

Solution 4:^[4]

An additional way would be to use a URL parameter instead of the hash. The advantage of this approach is that the page will not automatically jump down the hashed ID which may not be desired.

Example Link Structure: mywebsite.com/?tab=myTabsID

// Javascript to enable link to tab
 const queryString  = window.location.search;
 const urlParams = new URLSearchParams(queryString);
 let selectedTab = urlParams.get('tab');
 if (urlParams.has('tab')) {
   jQuery('.nav-link[href="'+'#'+selectedTab+'"]' ).trigger('click');
 }
