Links back to parent directory does not work in Markdown

[fluentcodes]

I would like to expand a sandbox concept to something I called "GitSamples". It uses Topic Branches and README.md files in folders for documentation as Repo on Github. I've got a problem when navigate from a README.md in one folder back to another with ... Back navigation is simple not possible in Markdowns.
The only solution I've found is /../../tree/BRANCH/PATH. So all the documention only work in that specific branch. Renaming or cloning would destroy all links in documentation. Is there another solution?
Or is there something planned? Relative folder links works fine unless you want to go back.

Hi @fluentcodes ,

I've arrived here because I can't get the relative paths to work with README.md file at all.

I saw that the same issue happens in other Github repos that were supposed to work before. Example:

• Stackoverflow answer
• Github example repo

It's strange, as Github itself is even recommending using relative paths:
Relative links and image paths in readme files

Did you get more information about this? I tried to search for official Github issue ticket or something, but I didn't find anything :(

Thanks!
