Interesting idea.
Does it check if links with Anchors also work properly? For example the link https://github.com/dkhamsing/awesome_bot#installation will continue to work if you change "installation" to "setup" in your readme.md but a browser will no longer jump to the correct section of the page, so there is no 404 but it is a "faulty" link.
Sometimes when forums change the anchors change and linking to a specific post can be useful if there are multiple versions posted in a thread.
edit: the same applies for this readme.md - we need to insert manual Anchor html tags to keep the table of contents at the top working correctly, a mistake is easily made.
Hi unfortunately it does not support anchor detection
I currently just manually double check the markdown before approving pull requests. I do some fixing if it is needed.
:+1:
This tool is great to check if all the links are still valid, in case a project is renamed (redirected) or deleted :smiley:
For example, this link no longer works http://www.autohotkey.net/~Micha/AutohotkeyCE/html/
Ahhh ok, just thinking there might be possible conflicts with historical.md Anyhow, seems cool :)
also no longer working
ah cool that you keep old stuff in historical.md
anyway, let me know if you're interested or feel free to close this issue if not it's all good
I say we add it, perhaps @hoppfrosch and @vasili111 can chime in as well.
I am neutral. I'll go with whichever.
I also think it makes sense, adding it ...:thumbsup:
Since there are no objections within reasonable time, we should add it
Did as awesome-bot described: "If you are interested, connect this repo to https://travis-ci.org/ and add a .travis.yml file to the project."
I created a test branch - and created a pull request: awesome_bot works like a charme (see: https://github.com/ahkscript/awesome-AutoHotkey/pull/72)
Now all issues, reposted by awesome_bot should be removed ... ;-)
Closes #66
I think it is good idea to add it :)
Hello, I wrote a tool that can validate README links (valid URLs, not duplicate). It can be run when someone submits a pull request.
It is currently being used by
Examples
If you are interested, connect this repo to https://travis-ci.org/ and add a
.travis.yml
file to the project.See https://github.com/dkhamsing/awesome_bot for options, more information Feel free to leave a comment :smile:
