I have two files on the same domain in the same folder:
I am using:
<a href="index.html">Link</a>
However, I see others using
<a href="./index.html">Link</a>
They appear to work the same, what is the difference?

Sorry if I am missing something, is there a code? – Praveen Kumar Purushothaman Jan 11 '21 at 20:52

Both are almost same... No difference to be honest. – Praveen Kumar Purushothaman Jan 11 '21 at 20:53

@TannerDolby No. `.` refers to the current directory. – Praveen Kumar Purushothaman Jan 11 '21 at 20:53

@seventeen Added an exact dupe. Please check. – Praveen Kumar Purushothaman Jan 11 '21 at 20:54

@PraveenKumarPurushothaman Ah yes, so as long as `index.html` is in the current directory, the two don't have a difference. – Tanner Dolby Jan 11 '21 at 20:54

1Going without the `./` will save you 2 bytes, so it is **marginally** better. – Praveen Kumar Purushothaman Jan 11 '21 at 20:55
