Add linkcheck to CI - Githubissues

anissa111 commented 3 weeks ago

This PR:

adds a linkcheck to CI
- adds linkcheck.yml as a separate action workflow file so that our entire CI won't show as failing if just linkcheck is having problems and potential linkcheck problems won't necessarily block PRs.
- runs on main at 00:30 UTC, on PRs, and on workflow call
- reuses the environment generated by nightly checks (hence running at 00:30 UTC)
and addresses some stuff that made it fail
- adds :ref: roles to internal links in cards in applications/applications.rst and index.rst
- alters references.bib to remove redundant urls and correct a typo in a doi
- adds linkcheck_anchors = False to conf.py to allow linking to specific line numbers on github (invalid anchors will still go to the intended page, just not the intended location)
- adds linkcheck_ignore = [r'https://doi.org/10.1080/104732299303296'] to conf.py. I tried to do some stuff with the user agent, but ultimately, this page is really interested in keeping track of the number of people who access it and I don't want to mess with their stats.

Addresses GA-1499
