bup-validate-ref-links(1)

✨ NAME ✨

bup-validate-ref-links — bestie, this is the one that checks your repository refs for links pointing at objects that have like… vanished 💀

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

bup validate-ref-links [ref...]

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Okay so real talk: this command is exactly the same as bup validate-refs --links. That's it, that's the whole vibe. ✨

And because it's literally just a duplicate, the manpage is politely begging you: please prefer that one instead 🫶 use bup validate-refs --links, not this. This is the lowkey deprecated twin, iykyk.
