✅ CLI to find broken URLs in files (awesome_bot alternative)

urlsup

urlsup (urls up) finds URLs in files and checks whether they are up by making a GET request and checking the response status code. This tool is useful for lists, repos or any type of project containing URLs that you want to be up.

It's written in Rust (stable) and executes the requests async in multiple threads, making it very fast. This in combination with its ease of use makes it the perfect tool for your CI pipeline.

This project is a slim version of awesome_bot but aims to be faster.
