Hi @CyrilBaah, I’d like to work on this issue. I can start by identifying and fixing the broken 8knot link in the README.md, and then work on adding a GitHub Action to automate broken link checks in the documentation.

Please let me know if I can proceed. Thanks!

I have added a job in workflow using lychee to solve the issue #3152, which will check if there is any broken link in README.md. Please review my PR.

No, there have been several PRs for it already though. I believe both are still in review. It seems like one issue with merging a CI solution is that it will immediately cause the CI to fail because there are broken links in the repo.

If you are looking for a way to help out, i think submitting a PR that corrects all the existing broken links detected by these two existing PRs would help make sure the repo is in a clean, working state to introduce such a CI job.
