Relative paths like ../test/unit resolve correctly on GitHub but produce 404s when the page is rendered at coder.com/docs/code-server/CONTRIBUTING. Replace all 7 with absolute github.com/coder/code-server/tree/main/... URLs. Closes https://linear.app/codercom/issue/DOCS-244 Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Do you know if there is any way we can fix this on the docs site? Something like if the link is relative, resolve it against the repo.
Just because now it will be more difficult to jump to the other files from within an IDE, especially since they are contributing docs (it is nice to reference them within the IDE while editing without getting kicked out to a browser).

Ah, I see your point. The tricky bit will be making sure we strictly only do relative links when linking to other Markdown files, or we use absolute links for docs. I'll do some investigation on this and get back to you! |

Relative paths like `../test/unit` work correctly on GitHub but produce 404s when the page is rendered at `coder.com/docs/code-server/CONTRIBUTING`. The docs site treats the page URL as a directory, so relative links resolve into `/docs/code-server/...` paths that don't exist.
Replace all 7 affected links with absolute `github.com/coder/code-server/tree/main/...` URLs.
