Wraps the linkcheck step with nick-fields/[email protected] to handle transient network failures when validating documentation links.

Changes

  • Added retry action with max_attempts: 3 and timeout_minutes: 10 to the linkcheck step
  • Converted working-directory to inline cd command (required by retry action syntax)
- name: make linkcheck
  uses: nick-fields/[email protected]
  with:
    max_attempts: 3
    timeout_minutes: 10
    command: cd ./docs/ && make linkcheck
