Filtering Links

You can tell lychee to only check certain links by using a combination of the --include and --exclude parameters. Both parameters take a regular expression as an argument.

Here are some examples:

# Exclude all links that contain "example.com" and "example.org"
lychee --exclude example\.com --exclude example\.org

# Same as above, but using a single exclude parameter
lychee --exclude example\.(com|org)

Includes take precedence over excludes. You can use that fact to check only links that contain a specific string.

For example, if you want to check all links that contain the string twitter.com, you can use the following command:

lychee --exclude '.*' --include 'twitter\.com'
