GitHub - JustinBeckwith/linkinator-action: A GitHub Action that checks your README and other markdown for 404s. (original) (raw)

linkinator-action

A happy little GitHub Action that checks your README.md and other markdown for broken links. Uses linkinator under the hood.

Example usage

With no arguments, this will scan your README.md in the root of the GitHub repository:

on: push: branches: - main pull_request: name: ci jobs: linkinator: runs-on: ubuntu-latest steps: - uses: actions/checkout@v3 - uses: JustinBeckwith/linkinator-action@v1

Or you can pass many of the same parameters linkinator provides!

on: push: branches: - main pull_request: name: ci jobs: linkinator: runs-on: ubuntu-latest steps: - uses: actions/checkout@v3 - uses: JustinBeckwith/linkinator-action@v1 with: paths: test/fixtures/test.md concurrency: 1 markdown: true linksToSkip: "http://fake.local, http://fake.local/fake"
