linkcheck was created in order to ensure that none of your files have broken links.
I use it personally to check my documentation, notes and recipes every once in a while
for valid URLs. I am aware that in case of Sphinx documentation
there is already a bundled linkcheck tool. However this does not work on raw:: sections.
- bash
- curl
# Ensure all URLs found in all files in current directory return 200
linkcheck# Ensure either 200, 301 or 302 are returned
linkcheck -e 'md,txt' -c '200,301,302' path/to/my/docs# Ensure only 200 is returned
linkcheck -e 'rst' -c '200' path/to/my/docs# Ignore localhost, 127.0.0.1 and *.loc domains
linkcheck -i '^http(s)?:\/\/(localhost)|(127\.0\.0\.1|.)|(.+\.loc).*$' path/to/my/docslinkcheck -k -c '200' path/to/my/docs# Ensure only 200 is returned from the last redirected page
linkcheck -l -c '200' path/to/my/docsUsage: linkcheck [-e -i -t -r -c -k -l] [<path>]
linkcheck --version
linkcheck --help
