Github action to check links in Markdown for non 200 status codes

Link Checker

This action takes checks each link in a repository, and returns that link's status code if it isn't 200.

Example usage

• Run a cron every 5 minutes and on every push

[ .gihub\workflows\myworkflow.yml ]

on:
  schedule:
  - cron: '*/5 * * * *'
  push:
name: Link Checker
jobs:
  linkchecker:
    name: linkchecker
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
    - uses: actions/checkout@master
    - name: linkchecker
      uses: cam-barts/linkchecker-action@master

Example Output

https://github.com/sdras/awesome-actions/actions?workflow=Lint+Awesome+List got status code 404 (./Readme.md)

Known Issues

• 404's on workflows (see above example)
• No way to exclude links from output
• No way to change verbosity
• Only prints the output, doesn't do anything further (such as open an issue)
• Not exactly beautiful

Selectively ignore certain failures?

Hey Cam,

Been using link checker for a while on the APA, and I was curious, would it be possible to have a configuration file with expected failures? Seems like a few links are behind cloudflare (which blocks the checker's traffic) and other expected failures.

Thanks in advance!
