From e82f8a38de95f8acdc3915c73187b8cce3d07082 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: arslan-dg <106649059+arslan-dg@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Mon, 5 Oct 2026 21:19:10 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] Link the README at the LeetCode patterns guide Adds two links to designgurus.io/blog/top-lc-patterns, which was rebuilt onto the canonical 20 patterns with a code template, a diagram and three real leetcode.com problems for each. Framed so the counts do not contradict: this repo stays the complete reference for all 41 patterns, and the guide is the explained version of the core 20 for readers who are starting out. The SERP for "leetcode patterns" returns GitHub results, so the repo is a credible entry point for that query and the blog had no inbound link from it.
