Exclusions & suppressions

You can create a .unbroken_exclusions file to suppress individual errors, or to skip traversing certain directories. Just copy/paste the error you want to suppress from the output onto the .unbroken_exclusions file, or add a directory prefix preceded by a !. You can also use globs.

Example:

URL not found https://github.com/microsoft/react-native-windows/tree/master/current while parsing test\readme.md (HTTP 404)

!node_modules

!test\test2\test.md
