<!-- ### Link Checking

It's useful to check if all your links work before publishing your notes. You can use the [awesome-bot](https://github.com/dkhamsing/awesome_bot) gem to validate your links.

- setup
  - create a folder named `reports` to hold the results
    ```
    cd {wsRoot}
    mkdir reports
    ```
  - add `reports` to your VS Code workspace in order to browse it via VS Code

- check links
  - build your site using the `Build Pod` command
  - start a local server
  - run the following command
    ```bash
    cd {wsRoot}/reports && awesome_bot ../docs/_site/notes/*.html --allow-redirect --allow-dupe --allow 429 
    ```
