GitHub relative link in Markdown file

Question

Is there a way to create a URL anchor, , link from within a Markdown file, to another file within the same repository and branch (aka a link relative t

Answer 1

You can link to file, but not to folders, and keep in mind that, Github will add /blob/master/ before your relative link(and folders lacks that part so they cannot be linked, neither with HTML tags or Markdown link).

So, if we have a file in myrepo/src/Test.java, it will have a url like:

https://github.com/WesternGun/myrepo/blob/master/src/Test.java

And to link it in the readme file, we can use:

[This is a link](src/Test.java)

or: This is a link.

(I guess, master represents the master branch and it differs when the file is in another branch.)
