deadlink 0.4.6

Check and fix URLs in text files

Parses text files for HTTP URLs and checks if they are still valid. Install with

pip install deadlink

and use as

deadlink check README.md   # or multiple files/directories
# or deadlink c README.md

To explicitly allow or ignore certain URLs, use

deadlink check README.md -a http: -i stackoverflow.com github

This only considers URLs containing http: and not containing stackoverflow.com or github. You can also place allow and ignore lists in the config file ~/.config/deadlink/config.toml, e.g.,

allow_urls = [
  "https:"
]
ignore_urls = [
  "stackoverflow.com",
  "math.stackexchange.com",
  "discord.gg",
  "doi.org"
]
igonore_files = [
  ".svg"
]

See

deadlink check -h

for all options. Use

deadlink replace-redirects paths-or-files
# or deadlink rr paths-or-files

to replace redirects in the given files. The same filters as for deadlink check apply.
