As see from #53 we can have broken/dead links, links that once worked can be unavailable for reasons outside the control of this project/repo!
Hence I have decided to manually scan (for now) the repo from time to time for such links and fix them - if there is one. Here are the steps to take:
New broken/dead links
markdown-link-check
(see https://www.npmjs.com/package/markdown-link-check to find out how to install and use it)Existing broken/dead links across the repo
Existing dead/broken links are marked with the '[deadlink]' marker.
As part of this issue, fixing these links is also helpful - although if they are left in there it's cause their fix wasn't immediately available or found on searching on the relevant sources.
Eventually, we can automate the task of finding such links via a GitHub action during GitHub events like commit, push or pull request creation.
