+# Link Has Href counter
+
+## Rule Details
+
+An `<a>` element that has an href attribute represents a hyperlink (a hypertext anchor) labeled by its contents. Links, `<a>` elements, should go somewhere, you probably want to use a `<button>` instead.
+
+
+## Resources
+
+- [`<a>`: The Anchor element](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/a)
+- [Primer: Links](https://primer.style/design/accessibility/links)
+- [HTML Spec: The a element](https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/text-level-semantics.html#the-a-element)
+
+## Examples
+### **Incorrect** code for this rule 👎
+
+```erb
+<!-- incorrect -->
+<a>Go to GitHub</a>
+```
+
+### **Correct** code for this rule  👍
+
+```erb
+<!-- correct -->
+<a href='https://github.com/'>Go to GitHub</a>
+```
