GitHub has introduced support for relative links in markup files, allowing users to link directly between different documentation files, whether viewed on GitHub or locally with a different markup renderer. This update enables easier navigation within a project's documentation, as users can now replace absolute links with relative ones, enhancing the flexibility and portability of documents. The change also encourages users to update any workaround links previously used. This improvement facilitates documentation that can stand independently without always needing to reference GitHub. For more detailed guidance, GitHub offers a help article.
