Finding broken links in the (source tree) documents for a github project


I'm looking for some way to find the broken links inside the html pages (markdown generated) for my github projects

I've tried using the W3C link checker but get this message:

Error: 403 Forbidden by robots.txt

(I've tried other similar tools and have run into the same problem)

Are there any other ways (except testing the links manually of course!) that I can find out which links are broken in my github projects?

Grateful for help and with kind regards, Tord


Solution

  • I have contacted the support and they have told me that there is no way to do this for the source tree, (of course if the documentation was in another place like for example github pages that would be a different story)
