How to use this workflow

Add Markdown content or URL
Paste content directly or provide a repository URL for the Markdown file you want to validate.

Edit the broken targets in the live panel, verify replacements, then copy or download the cleaned Markdown.
FAQ
Can I use this for a private repo?
Yes, if you paste the Markdown content directly into the tool. That avoids relying on a public repository URL.
Does the tool resolve relative Markdown links?
Yes. That is one of the core parts of the Markdown and Git docs workflow.
