This PR implements a GitHub Actions workflow that automatically checks for broken links on the published documentation site.

Workflow Features

  • Automated Scheduling: Runs every Sunday at 3am UTC to check for broken links
  • Manual Trigger: Can be triggered manually via workflow_dispatch for on-demand checks
  • Link Checking: Uses linkchecker to scan https://doggy8088.github.io/Learn-Git-in-30-days/
  • Configuration:
    • Checks external links
    • Ignores robots.txt
    • Uses a realistic browser user-agent to avoid being blocked
    • Ignores known problematic URLs (stanford.edu, facebook.com)
  • Reporting: Generates an HTML report and uploads it as a workflow artifact

Changes Made

  • Implemented .github/workflows/linkchecker.yml with proper GitHub Actions workflow syntax
  • Configured weekly scheduling (Sunday at 3am UTC)
  • Set up linkchecker with appropriate flags and ignored URLs
  • Configured artifact upload for the HTML report

The workflow is production-ready and will help maintain the quality of links in the documentation.
