A proposal could be to use wget directly, it looks pretty straightforward:
https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-find-broken-links-on-your-website-using-wget-on-debian-7

otherwise a tool like htmltest could be used:

I‘m willing to have a try.

Great! I assigned you on the issue

[ndr-brt]

@liugddx are you still working on this? otherwise I will remove assignment and let somebody else to contribute in

All right. I found a lot of dead links, and I can‘t be sure what the correct link is.

This issue is only about having the CI job to detect dead links, then the activity to fix those should be made separately (because they could be a lot)

@liugddx is there any active work on your side? It would be great if you can check my comment in #45. I'll also start on fixing the broken links in the documentation next week but ofc want to avoid doing the same work twice.

Sorry for the late reply. I will fix it in the next few days.

If it is okay for you I'll propose to add the GitHub Action as exemplarily configured in my example and we can both align on fixing the actual links. WDYT?
