🚨 Deprecated: Please use Linkspector instead. 🚨 This CLI application is now deprecated and no longer actively maintained. I have developed a new tool called Linkspector, which offers improved functionality and reduced false positives. I recommend using Linkspector for your needs, which is now the preferred and supported option. Linkspector offers enhanced features and better performance, and I will continue to develop and support it moving forward. I appreciate your understanding, and I hope you enjoy using Linkspector!
