I built link-guardian, a Rust command-line tool that scans websites and GitHub repositories to detect broken and redirected links. |
It parses HTML and Markdown (including READMEs), checks links concurrently using async networking, and outputs both human-readable and JSON reports. It’s designed to work well in CI pipelines by returning a non-zero exit code when broken links are found.
Motivation: I often found outdated/broken links in docs and READMEs and existing tools were either slow, language-runtime dependent, or not GitHub-aware. Rust made it possible to ship a single fast static binary.

I’d really appreciate feedback, bug reports, or ideas for missing features. If you try it, let me know what breaks or what you’d like next
